Heart desire

1 Samuel 16:7 - "But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

Where do you go to satisfy your life desires? God doesn’t just check you off as okay because you are physically here. He looks on your heart and knows whether you really want Him or not. What table has the menu that suits you, the Lord’s table, or the world’s? Re-acquire a taste for the Lord’s fare, and renounce the world’s dishes.

Isaiah 55:1-3 - “Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters; And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk Without money and without price.2 Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, And let your soul delight itself in abundance.3 Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live; And I will make an everlasting covenant with you— The sure mercies of David.
