Peek-a-boo with God …

Business people dress to impress when they walk into boardrooms to make presentations.

We get dressed up, if in just our “best” jeans, to go out on the town.

We learn lines, polish manners, and practice certain etiquette at different times and in different places.

In other words, we often attempt to impress.

Making an impression is an outward attempt to manipulate the thoughts others have about us. We do that often with each other.

We even try it with God.

But it never works with God.

Regardless of what we may display outwardly toward God, this fact remains:

“But the Lord said to Samuel, ‘Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The Lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart,’” 1 Samuel 16:7.

How do you try to impress God? When He looks past your attempt to impress, what does He see when He looks at your heart?
