1 Samuel 16:7
“But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or height, for I have rejected him; the LORD does not see as man does. For man sees the outward appearance, but the LORD sees the heart.””
„Der HERR sieht das Herz an“: Gottes Beurteilung unterscheidet sich von unserer; er sieht den inneren Charakter, nicht das Äußere.

As Samuel seeks Israel’s next king, God passes over the impressive-looking sons, reminding him that ‘man looks at the outward appearance.’
God chooses David, the overlooked shepherd, because he weighs the heart—a comfort and a challenge to value what God values.
What does ‘the LORD looks at the heart’ mean?
God judges by inner character and motives rather than appearance, status, or talent, which often impress people.
