1 Samuel
16:7 “People judge by outward
appearances but the Lord looks at a person’s thoughts and intentions.”
Aren’t you thankful the Lord
does not judge us by our looks, what we wear, or how, overweight, underweight,
puny or large we appear, whether we have stylish coiffures or straggly
hair? Whether we wear expensive outfits
or hand-me-downs?
I recently heard about a
study being researched regarding employer hiring. Through various means, it was established
that people who were attractive were often preferred and hired before people
who were, in some cases, better qualified but not as attractive. We are appalled by this statistic and yet, I
fear, many of us are guilty of the same thing.
When I managed a ladies wear retail store, I often hired salesgirls for
their attractiveness instead of their qualifications. I’m sure this truly happens often in many
companies.
Aren’t you glad God sees the
inside of us and does not judge us by our outward appearances? Could we be more
Christ like in this area and perceive others for who they are instead of what
they look like?
Prayer for
today: Heavenly Father, I am so thankful
that you see my thoughts and intentions instead of my outward appearance and
outward actions. Help me to become what
you created me to be so I can be beautiful to you. In Jesus name, Amen.
