God Looks at Your Heart

1 Samuel 16:7 Amplified Bible

But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees; for man looks [a]at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

  1. It’s God’s will for us to prosper

3 John 2 Amplified Bible

Beloved, I pray that in every way you may succeed and prosper and be in good health [physically], just as [I know] your soul prospers [spiritually].

Isaiah 55:9-11  The Passion Translation

As high as the heavens are above the earth, so my ways and my thoughts are higher than yours.
10 “As the snow and rain that fall from heaven[a]
    do not return until they have accomplished their purpose,
    soaking the earth and causing it to sprout with new life,
    providing seed to sow and bread to eat.
11 So also will be the word[b] that I speak;
    it does not return to me unfulfilled.[c]
    My word performs my purpose
    and fulfills the mission I sent it out to accomplish.

2 Corinthians 9:10 The Passion Translation

10 This generous God who supplies abundant seed[a] for the farmer, which becomes bread for our meals,[b] is even more extravagant toward you. First he supplies[c] every need, plus more. Then he multiplies the seed as you sow it, so that the harvest of your generosity[d] will grow.

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked [He will not allow Himself to be ridiculed, nor treated with contempt nor allow His precepts to be scornfully set aside]; for whatever a man sows, this and this only is what he will reap.

  1. It all Belongs to God, we are stewards (His money managers)

Psalm 24:1 Amplified Bible

24 The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness of it, The world, and those who dwell in it.

And I tell you [learn from this], make friends for yourselves [for eternity] by means of the [a]wealth of unrighteousness [that is, use material resources as a way to further the work of God], so that when it runs out, they will welcome you into the eternal dwellings.

10 “He who is faithful in a very little thing is also faithful in much; and he who is dishonest in a very little thing is also dishonest in much. 11 Therefore if you have not been faithful in the use of earthly wealth, who will entrust the true riches to you? 12 And if you have not been faithful in the use of that [earthly wealth] which belongs to another [whether God or man, and of which you are a trustee], who will give you that which is your own?
