Dig In to the Bible
- Read: 1 Samuel 16:1-13
- In This Passage: God tells Samuel to anoint one of Jesse’s sons as the next king. Samuel sees Jesse’s oldest son and thinks he must be the one God has chosen. But God looks at the heart, not outward appearance. God helps us see people through his eyes, and he helps Samuel see that the next king is the youngest son, David.
- Bible Point: God helps us see people through his eyes.
- Summary Verse: “Live in harmony with each other. Don’t be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people. And don’t think you know it all!” (Romans 12:16).

- Who do you have a hard time seeing in a positive way? How can you see that person through God’s eyes?
