The Inside

Looking good on the outside does not fool God. What’s in your heart is what matters to Him.

Read: I Samuel 16:7

7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The Lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

Most Difficult

The enemy’s insults don’t take to heart but most difficult is a friend’s betrayal. Yet, even in that God will rescue you.

Read: Psalms 55:12-13,16

12 It is not an enemy who taunts me—
I could bear that.
It is not my foes who so arrogantly insult me—
I could have hidden from them.
13 Instead, it is you—my equal,
my companion and close friend.

16 But I will call on God,
and the Lord will rescue me.
