(1 Samuel 16:6-7) "When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and thought, "Surely the Lord's anointed stands here before the Lord." 7 But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks are the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."
These two verses of Bible scripture tell us that what kind of man does God anoints for the king in God's perspective. Not the general people's perspective. In addition, what kind of person is appropriate with God to be a leader.
The answer is a quite simple.
God raises up the person who has a equal values with God. Mostly, we also simply consider that in order to be used to God, we think that we are supposed to have a talent, or abilities. We apparently consider that we have to have a appropriate qualifications to God. Those are also significant to God but, that is not a real important consideration in front of God to be used or to be raised up as a leader.
The reason is because the verse 7 certainly teaches us that God is really considering our heart. Not the qualification who has a nice appearance or high educations.. whatever.
Therefore, if we want to be a adequate person to God, we are more concentrate on our heart than filling up the our personal abilities. This is because God is our power, moreover, He has a all abilities.
We can learn this fact from Moses' story in old testament.
This is really simple concept but it is also a pretty powerful message. Merely, the world continuously tells us that a different concept of person who could be succeed in the world. However, what we have to care about is the meaning about a great leader or successful man of concept is totally different in the world of God.
God look at our heart exactly without any error which will be a real my identity.
In this sense, we always try to be trained our characters and a faithful mind toward God in order to be anointed as King David.
