God Looks at the Heart — 1 Samuel 16:7 — Aug 22, 2025

People see the outside, but God sees your motives.In today’s 5-Minute Daily Devotional, we reflect on 1 Samuel 16:7, where God reminds Samuel not to judge by appearance. While people often focus on outward looks, God examines the heart — our true motives and intentions.This is a powerful reminder that purity of heart matters to God. When our motives are aligned with His will, our actions will bear good fruit and bring Him glory.📖 Scripture: 1 Samuel 16:7But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” (NIV)💌 Get these devotionals in your inbox each morning:https://mailchi.mp/dailydevotionalministries/subscribe💗 Support this ministry:https://bit.ly/ddmpartners👕 Shop Faith-Based Apparel & Gifts:https://dailydevotionalstore.com/🎙 More from DQ Clarke:http://bit.ly/3HoFlEB
