Description
This Scripture coloring page highlights a powerful moment in Israel’s history.
When Samuel was sent to anoint the next king, he assumed it would be one of Jesse’s tall, impressive sons. But God corrected him:
“For Yahweh sees not as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks at the heart.” — 1 Samuel 16:7 (WEB)
This design visually reflects that truth with:
-
A crown symbolising kingship
-
Hearts representing inner character
-
Floral details symbolising growth
-
Emphasis on LORD and heart
-
A circular reflective border for mindful colouring
This verse reminds us that God evaluates differently than the world does.

David did not look like a king.
But his heart was aligned with God.
This verse encourages children and adults alike:
You are not defined by how others see you.
The crown in the design reminds us:
God often chooses the unexpected.
The hearts scattered throughout represent the inner life —
the part only God fully sees.
