1-minute devotion for Thursday, 10/23/25
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 people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7 NIV (emphasis mine)
I love the story of David being anointed king over Israel. When Jesse brought out his sons before Samuel, the Lord rejected them all, one by one. A little confused perhaps, Samuel asked Jesse, “Are these all the sons you have?”
Jesse replied, “There is still the youngest, but he is tending the sheep.” They brought him in from the fields and the Lord said, “He is the one.”
“ So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon David.” (v. 13) Read full chapter
