Word of Hope for Today with
Bro. Rolly Custodio
‘…The Lord does not look at the things man looks at…’ 1 Samuel 16:7 NIV
Today’s Insight
David’s
father didn’t think he was qualified to be Israel’s next king. So when Samuel
came looking for a successor to King Saul, he presented his oldest son Eliab,
who was a general in the army. Samuel was impressed. ‘…Samuel saw Eliab and
thought, “Surely the Lord’s anointed stands here…” But 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 man looks at.
Man
looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart”‘ (1 Samuel 16:6-7 NIV).
When
it comes to your life’s calling, only one opinion counts – God’s! In order to
fulfil his destiny, David had to overcome his family’s opinion of him.
John
Maxwell writes, ‘Any time you see people pursuing a midlife career change, you
can be almost certain that they have been living someone else’s dream and lost
their way.
’ Nobel
Prize winner for literature Joseph Brodsky observed, ‘One’s task consists first
of all in mastering a life that is one’s own, not imposed or prescribed from
without, no matter how noble its appearance may be.
For
each of us is issued but one life, and we know full well how it all ends.
It
would be regrettable to squander this one chance on someone else’s appearance,
someone else’s experience.’
It’s
not too late to become what God wants you to be, and do what He wants you to
do. If you’ve been living somebody else’s dream, ask God for a dream of your
own and He will give it to you.
Today’s
