Two Eyes, Two Ears, One Mouth, One Nose

“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 people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

I Samuel 16:7

“Two eyes, two ears, one mouth, one nose;

Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes!”

So goes the chorus of a song you may have song as a child.

But those eyes and ears – they can get you into so much trouble.

What we see and hear can greatly undermine our faith if we allow it.

When we do not filter our vision and hearing through the Word of God and only hear mans’ voice and see with our natural eyes we can be assured trouble lies ahead for our faith.

So let’s fortify our hearing and our ‘seeing’ in order to gain Gods’ perspective on the circumstances and events of life.

Samuel the Prophet was ready to anoint the tall, dark and handsome son of Jesse until He heard God speak.

Samuel had to tune his hearing to God’s voice and had to look beyond natural attributes to see what God son in the shepherd son David.

Don’t miss Gods’ best for your life by leaning on natural sight and hearing everyone else but God.

The things you hear and the things you see can undermine your faith.

So train your hearing to listen for God’s voice.

It is often not the loudest one in the room.

Ask God to help you see with the eyes of the Holy Spirit and not simply with natural sight.

As you do these things expect your faith to increase!
