August 2 Through HIS Eyes 1 Samuel 16:7
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7)
Recent events, both public and private, have caused me to ponder the actions, motivations, and decisions of others, and myself! Satan is active and is employing every tactic at his disposal, to cripple and defame the cause of Christ! None of us are immune to his attacks, both direct and subtle! Praise God, that our Savior does not see us with the eyes of humanity! Our God sees us with the eyes of a loving Father! He sees our faults, flaws, scars, mistakes, blemishes and He still LOVES US! When I think about the Love of God, and HOW and WHY would He Love someone as flawed and broken as me, I get excited to realize that He sees the value in me and He sees the virtue of our existence. WOW! Thank You God for LOVING ME! Thank You for LOVING US enough to send JESUS to SUFFER, and DIE for our SINS, and that He IS OUR SAVIOR, when WE BELIEVE, CONFESS, and RECEIVE the MIRICLE of HIS GRACE ACT on CALVARY! IAM SO VERY GLAD THAT GOD SEES ME THROUGH HIS EYES AND NOT THE EYES OF HUMANITY! I choose to serve HIM, Glorify Him, and Share HIS GOOD NEWS! Again, Thank You God for Loving me! Stay Strong, Stay Focused…THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
