We tend to evaluate others on the basis of physical, outward appearance their 'good looks,' their social status, their family pedigrees, their degrees, or their economic situations. The Lord, however, has a different standard by which he measures a person. When it came time to choose a king to replace King Saul, the Lord gave this criteria to his prophet Samuel 'Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature for the Lord seeth not as man seeth for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.'
