Video of the Day: Trailor of EPSN 30 for 30 “Scott”
Bible Verse of the Day:
When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and thought, “Surely the Lord’s anointed stands here before the Lord.” 7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart,” 1 Samuel 16:6-7.
Biblical Connection:
Every so often, ESPN will transition from covering star athletes to human interest stories. On the surface, certain individuals may not overwhelm you with their appearance, personality or talents. Yet, as you observe, pay attention to and witness special qualities, you become intrigued by this person. This internal energy, joy and spirit may even elicit a desire deep inside of you to want whatever this boy possesses. This is an introduction to today’s video clip entitled Scott.
David was the youngest brother in a large family. Based upon the words of Samuel, David was a scrawny teenager who was assigned the lowly daily chore of watching over his father’s sheep. Growing up in this humble setting forced David to place his trust in the Lord to protect these sheep while he was asleep. Psalm 18:36 reveals that David even prayed, asking God to protect his ankles from being sprained or twisted from hilly/rocky terrain. This is the upbringing that slowly transformed David into a man after God’s own heart.
Closing Song:
Whenever I’ve tried to fill my life with temporary pleasures on earth, it doesn’t take long for my soul to become filled with emptiness. May today’s blog and song inspire you to run toward God, coming back into your heavenly father’s arms, Luke 15:20.
