God judges hearts and not appearance

Having rejected Saul as king over his people, God now sends Samuel to find another king. However, Saul remains king for the time being because the people did not want to lose their first king. Samuel went to Jesse and among his sons he anointed the boy, David, as king to replace Saul. The message for us is that God does not judge by human standards and physical appearances. It goes beyond what we see or think we see. he sees beyond our purely human qualifications. God chooses and qualifies those who seem unfit for high office.

The spirit of God rests on David who will reign as king of Israel in due time. No one is qualified by himself, by his strengths, or personal abilities to receive the divine anointing.

All is grace! True religion is a true relationship with God; It is religion of the heart and not of external appearances and rites as our gospel of the day emphasizes.

“The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. »

Blessed week in Jesus' name!
