The Lord Looketh on the Heart | Come Follow Me Morning Meditation (1 Samuel 8–16)

June 8–14 Come, Follow Me “The Lord Looketh on the Heart” 1 Samuel 8–10; 13; 15–16 Begin your day with this peaceful Come, Follow Me morning meditation as we reflect on one of the most beloved truths in scripture: while the world looks on outward appearance, the Lord looks upon the heart. This week’s lesson follows Samuel, Saul, and David through moments of calling, waiting, faith, and divine perspective. As Samuel anoints the young shepherd David, we are reminded that God sees possibilities in us long before others do—and long before we see them ourselves. Whether you’re studying Come, Follow Me, preparing for scripture study, starting your morning prayer, or simply seeking a few quiet moments with God, this meditation is designed to help you feel His love, guidance, and presence throughout your day. “The Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.” —1 Samuel 16:7 Subscribe for weekly Come, Follow Me meditations, devotionals, and scripture-based bedtime stories designed to help individuals and families deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ.
