Ephesians 6:6-7, “not by way of eyeservice, as man-pleasers, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart. With goodwill, render service, as to the Lord and not to men.” I’m sure you have heard the Southerner saying, “Bless his heart”. Often times this is said when someone tries to do something but doesn’t produce the intended action. The person meant well. In these verses we are told to do the will of God from the heart. In 1 Samuel 16:7 it says, “But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or height of his stature, because I have rejected him, for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearances, but the Lord looks at the heart.” Have you ever wondered why God looks at the heart? Proverbs 4:23 says, “Above all else, guard your heart for everything you do flows from it.” We are told in Proverbs 27:19, “As in water, face reflects face, so the heart of man reflects man.” We are to guard our heart above all else. Everything we do flows from it. Matthew 12:33 says, “Either make the tree good and its fruits good or make the tree bad and its fruit bad, for the tree is known by its fruits.” God told Samuel to not look at outward appearance or height of his statue. Our eyes can deceive us. Eyeservice is looking for man’s approval. A heart doing the will of God, looks for God’s approval.
