I am going on 82 but I still try and look my best, often people pay me compliments,which I appreciate but of course ,I know that clothes doth not make the man.Our suits do not give any indication of a persons character,it may impress people,and if one is chasing a boy friend or a girl friend we want to look our best. If one is going for an interveiw fo a job one should try to look one's best.I am talking on the horizontal level,what do I mean by that? Well it is illustrated in the account of the prophet Samuel who was sent by God to annoint Israel's new king,We read about it in 1 Samuel 16,God had already chosen who it would be, so all Samuel had to do was annoint him.Samuel was directed to the house of Jesse,who had eight son's,but there was only seven present when he arrived.Samuel saw the first one and thought he is the one,but no he wasn't,and God spoke to him and said to 'I have rejected him.The Lord does not look at things people look at, people look at the outward appearance,but the Lord looks at the heart'.And the one who was appointed to be king ,was David,a man after God's own heart. (1 Samuel13 v14/Acts 13 v22).
