 Shepherd Boy

I was just listening to a song by Ray Boltz, Shepherd Boy, and although I think I posted about it before, I felt I should post about it again, beside that, the message the song delivers is one you cannot get enough of.


Before I get stated remember that G-d's vision superceeds everything or anyone in this world.

Just exactly how does G-d see us, what does He see when He looks at us? G-d sees the real us, not the shepherd boy, the inside of us, what we think, etc,etc, what matters.

 

The Bible says, 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 man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7)

In all that we do and think is not it a blessing to know G-d does not see us as "just" anything.  He sees our heart, what we are and can be, G-d sees "the king."

 

How about our hearts? Since G-d looks into our hearts, He sees our essence, what is completely true and real - not what others see.  G-d sees everything.  The Bible says,   O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.  (Psalm 139:1-3)  When we know Christ this is a very well thing to take hold of and not forget.

Regardless of the things we have done in the past, G-d sees us as righteous before Him. Because of the blood of Christ shed for us at Calvary, we have forgiveness of sin. So also through the obedience of Yeshua  we are made as kings to G-d. Our sins are gone, washed away by the blood of Yeshua Ha'Meshiach (Jesus Christ), the lamb of G-d!

So we might feel like a shepherd boy, others might see us as a shepherd boy but G-d looks in us and sees a king.  Nobody in this world can change that.
