1月19日 耶和华神看内心

撒上16:6-7
他们来的时候、撒母耳看见以利押、就心里说、耶和华的受膏者必定在他面前。耶和华却对撒母耳说、不要看他的外貌和他身材高大、我不拣选他、因为耶和华不像人看人、人是看外貌、耶和华是看内心。
It happened, when they had come, that he looked at Eliab, and said, "Surely Yahweh's anointed is before him." But Yahweh said to Samuel, "Don't look on his face, or on the height of his stature; because I have rejected him: for I see not as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks at the heart."
主耶稣！外表，才能，往往是人所看重的，也是人常犯的错误。神阿、求你鉴察我、知道我的心思、试炼我、知道我的意念。看在我里面有甚么恶行没有、引导我走永生的道路。求祢帮助我，不凭外貌选人，也不全凭才干用人，赐予我与圣灵同行的恩典，借着圣灵，能辨识忠心良善的人。
