Day of Praise

Sat, 10/15/16, "Day of Praise"

"In all Israel there was not a man so highly praised for his handsome appearance as Absalom." - 2 Samuel 14:25

All I have to say about today's verse is "So what?" So what if Absalom was handsome?

He was a troublemaker. He made trouble for his peers. He made trouble for women. He made trouble for the authorities. He made trouble for the people. He made trouble for his father. He made trouble for God.

Please dear friends, don't lose heart if you're not as handsome or beautiful as you'd like to be. God's looking at something else in you anyway.

In 1 Samuel 16:7, we read, "The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."

If you REALLY want to be attractive, work on being attractive to God, which means work on being attractive on the inside of your being.

That's what counts to God. So, that's what counts.

Praise God!
