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.


Devotional Reflection

The world measures:

  • Appearance

  • Strength

  • Popularity

  • Talent

God measures:

  • Integrity

  • Faithfulness

  • Humility

  • Trust

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.
