LIFE OF FAITH
1 Samuel Character Study — "After God's Own Heart"
Our God looks at the heart. In Genesis 6, when God saw that every inclination of the thoughts of men’s hearts was only evil all the time, he was grieved and his heart was filled with pain. When Samuel anointed David king, God told him, “The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart” (1Sa 16:7b). ... Acts says that David was a man whose top priority was to obey God: “He will do everything I want him to do” (Ac 13:22). ... God is seeking men and women whose hearts are fully committed to him. May he call us and use us in his great task of extending God’s kingdom until Jesus comes.
