1 Samuel 16:7
"...for the Lord does not see as people see; they look on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart".
a. God is not impressed with what we call success.
b. God do not judge or condemn others the way we do.
Psalm 88:14
"O Lord, why do you cast me off? Why do you hide your face from me?"
Even the most loved (David) by God still seek the face of God in prayer.
Psalm 73:2
"But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled…"
An honest and real comment about what it feels like when God doesn’t do what we have every biblical right to believe God should do (in this case, money).
Proverbs 3:15
"Wisdom is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her"
Money is important, but wisdom is about something of greater value.
Exodus 32:14
" and the Lord changed his mind…"
The heart of a man produces his success or his failure.
Proverbs 3:5
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding".
Knowledge alone is overrated. To trust God, despite what you know or don’t know or think you know, is to be whole and at peace.
