Scripture: Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs and tries the hearts. Proverbs 21:2

As none of us are perfect in following God’s ways, I’m glad we have scriptures like Proverbs 21:2 to encourage us! It’s telling us that God is more interested in our hearts, than in our performance. According to 1 Sam 16:7 God doesn’t look at the outward appearance, He looks at the heart: But the Lord said to Samuel, Look not on his appearance or at the height of his stature, for I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees; for man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart. That’s why God chooses people to do things who we would never choose. You see, we look a lot better in our hearts than we do externally, and that’s the reason God believes in you so much! Sometimes you may think you could never do what God’s asking you to do, but you can. God doesn’t make decisions based on your flesh or your natural talents. Those things don’t mean much to God, because He already has all the ability and talent to get the job done. And remember, He lives in you so His ability is in you! If your heart is to serve God and to be obedient to Him, He can use you mightily. So pay attention to the condition of your heart; it’s where your potential is.
