“Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth toward the gate…and measured it round about.”~ Ezk. 42:15
Whenever God measures the worth of a person, man or woman, He starts with the inner chamber of their earthly house. God always works from the inside out; the Pharisees, from the outside in. But they never seem to arrive at the core. Their outward lives are like a beautiful casket, but inside is a decayed life.
The people in Saul’s day saw him as a giant of a man, but God saw only a dwarf in a huge body. On the other hand, when observing David, with his small stature (he was swallowed up in Saul’s armour), who would have believed a man of such historic size, indwelt that house of clay. Many a common man and woman will never measure up to the greats of this world, but oh, the treasure they have within!
Jesus knows what it is like to be seen only as a“carpenter’s son,” while all the while God Almighty was dwelling in His earthly house!
“But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.”~ 1 Sam. 16:7
