God had told the prophet Samuel to anoint a new king to rule His people Israel. David the shepherd boy did not appear to be kingly material. His youthfulness did not measure up to the age and stature of his older brother Eliab (1 Samuel 16:6). Yet the Lord corrected Samuel’s original perception (1 Samuel 16:7). David would go on to become a great warrior and the Lord’s chosen ruler of His people (1 Samuel 13:14; 18:8; 2 Samuel 7:1-17).When you are tempted to judge someone by his outward appearance, remember Thomas Aquinas and King David. The heart is what matters to God.
