God Looks to the Heart

Daily Devotion for March 5, 2018

“For God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
—1 Samuel 16:7 NAS

We live in a world obsessed with outward appearance but the beautiful truth is that God’s focus is on the inside. Lent is a perfect time for you to look inward and spend time developing something that will last for all eternity—your relationship with Him.

Today’s Prayer:

Heavenly Father, help me to remember that true beauty comes from within.
