GOD CHOOSES DAVID TO BE KING


ANDREA DEL CASTAGNO -The Youthful David
National Gallery of Art, Washington

‘Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for the Lord does not see as mortals see; they look on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.’
1 Samuel 16:7

He sent and brought him [David] in. Now he was ruddy, and had beautiful eyes, and was handsome. The Lord said, ‘Rise and anoint him; for this is the one.’
1 Samuel 16:12

But God did not choose David because of his appearance but because of what God saw in his heart.
