Verse of the Day (August 3, 2020) #BMSeminary – {his appearance . . . height of his stature} Samuel needed to be reminded that God’s anointed was not chosen because of physical attributes. This was initially a difficult concept for Samuel as he was accustomed to a king whose only positive attributes were physical. {the Lord looks on the heart} The Hebrew concept of “heart” embodies emotions, will, intellect, and desires. The life of the man will reflect his heart (cf. Matt. 12:34–35). [MacArhtur Study Bible]
