TIM Good morning I’m Tim Wise, Sanctuary Choir Director at Central. I have a question for you: What are you like when no one around is watching? Are you the same person or does your manner change? I have a feeling, like many of you, our answer to that question would be identical. What does God see when He looks at your heart? David was a teenage shepherd boy when God appointed him the next king of Israel. David certainly didn’t have the typical “look” of a king, but God saw David’s integrity and character when no one else was looking. God saw inside of David’s heart and he found courage. David was incredibly brave and courageous as a young shepherd boy who defended his sheep from both lion and bear. God knew he would need both to be king. God also saw responsibility. David was willing to sacrifice his life for the sheep entrusted to him. This loyalty and responsibility would also make David a great king. God saw David’s potential in how he lived his life when no one was looking. It was his inner character and heart that God valued most. What does God see when He looks at your heart? How do you live when no one is looking?
