God Looks at the Heart: A Study of First Samuel. FLEX Adult Bible Study Curriculum. First Samuel contains a verse that is often quoted. ...[F]or man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart (1 Samuel 16:7b). It serves as reminder that God is always very concerned about the hearts of men and women. Glenn Newton guides us through 1 Samuel and examines the hearts of many of its main characters. As we examine hearts that admirably honor God and those that fail His test, we are encouraged to honestly evaluate our own hearts in light of God's Word. Table of Contents: 1.
