“But the Lord said to Samuel, ‘Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected 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.’”
—1 Samuel 16:7
When God rejected Saul as king, Samuel thought his ministry was over. He mourned for Saul, but God had one more thing for Samuel to do and one more thing to teach him. It is a profound message that changes the way we look at ourselves, each other, and God: "God does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance. God looks at the heart."
