            God Sees Glorious Things In You! 
              1 Samuel 16:7
              7. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at
the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." 
           
            Picture David when he was a shepherd boy. Many who knew him
in his pre-Goliath days would very likely have seen just an ordinary youth
- one who lived at home with his parents and siblings, enjoyed the outdoors
and loved music. But where others saw a typical teenager, God saw a king in
young David. He saw David's name being uttered in honor forever for even
the Lord Jesus is called the Son of David!

            Picture Moses after he had settled down comfortably in the
desert with a beautiful wife, lovely children and good in-laws. He might
have seen himself happily retiring in the near future. But God had bigger
plans for him. God had big dreams for him. God saw the Red Sea opening up
before him and an entire Egyptian army being wiped out in his presence. God
saw in Moses the deliverer of His people.

            Now, step back a little less far in time with me. See a
little boy standing alone during playtime. Nobody wants him on their team
because he is scrawny and seen as a weakling. As he grows into his teens,
he suffers from an inferiority complex. He stammers and stutters so much
that all his classmates laugh at him. 

            But today, he is the senior pastor of New Creation Church.
Several times each week, he stands in front of a crowd of more than 19,000
people to preach. And he receives invitations to speak in churches and
pastors' conferences worldwide. In those early years, there was no way I
could have ever conceived in my mind what God saw in me and the dreams that
He had for me.

            Beloved, God does not see as man sees. God saw in fearful
Gideon a mighty man of valor and called him so even when he was hiding from
his enemies in fear. (Judges 6:12) God saw in young David a king and
anointed him as one. (1 Samuel 16:10-13) God saw in meek Moses a deliverer
and drew him out from obscurity. (Exodus 3) 

            Today, God looks beyond what man sees and says about you, and
He has dreams for you that are bigger than you can imagine!
