David takes the stage


The Word for today: 1 Samuel 16:1-23

Saul was the people's choice, but David is God's man, a man after God's own heart (1 Sam. 13.14).

God chooses the least likely, the youngest of the seven brothers, because God doesn't see things as man sees things (16:8).

It takes a lot of practice to see things the way God does. But you're practicing right now! The Bible is God's transformative agent, enlightening the eyes (Psalm 19:8).

God sees from the inside out. Although David would fail, God knew that beneath the faith that failed was a faith that never failed.

Take a minute to see something--a person, a situation, a problem--through God's eyes. You'll be amazed at what you see.
