Tuesday, May 14th: 1 Samuel 15:1-16:23, John 8:1-20, Psalm 110:1-7, Proverbs 15:8-10 ~ Jeannine

Today's passage from the Bible In a Year Reading Plan is 1 Samuel 15:1-16:23, John 8:1-20, Psalm 110:1-7, Proverbs 15:8-10 

But the Lord said to Samuel, “Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The Lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” 
1 Samuel 16:7

This is a really great passage to remember and live out. But it's not always easy to do. It's so much easier to look through our human eyes and see what we see on the surface rather than what's in the heart. I think because it takes more time and effort to see the heart so we take the easy way out and judge what's on the surface.

I pray that God will open my heart and mind to those around me that I am not quick to judge and rather take the time to get to know people and see them as God sees them.
