In my teen class at church we just started a Bible study on David. Right now we're at the very beginning, when Saul disobeys God and Samuel has to search for someone to anoint as the new king. The Bible describes David as handsome , brave, and it says that the Lord was with Him. David's gentle spirit, his courage, and understanding of God's commands stands out to me. It makes you want to be like him.
We also read a very encouraging verse in I Samuel 16, when Samuel is searching for a king. "The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." In this day and age it's hard to keep from only looking at the outward appearance. Thankfully, God never changes, and will continue to look at our hearts, no matter what we look like on the outside.
