The Lord, however, has a different standard by which he measures a person. When it came time to choose a king to replace King Saul, the Lord gave this criteria to his prophet Samuel: "Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; ... for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart."” MenLooksHeartPersonsDifferentSocialSituationLordEconomicKingsDegreesStandardsBasesAppearanceHeightProphetLooking GoodCriteriaEvaluateCountenanceStatureSocial StatusPedigreeOutward Appearance Author:Marvin J.
