“God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart” (1 Sam. 16:7).

It wasn’t David’s looks that drew God’s attention. It was his character. In this message, Dr. Stanley uncovers the qualities— willingness, preparation, potential—that made David the best choice for king. Learn how to pursue a godly character so that when God calls you, you’re ready to be chosen.

This message is part of the series Pursuing God’s Heart: A Study of 1st & 2nd Samuel.
