The next notable sequence in David’s season of development begins as Samuel looks over the sons and wants to choose the oldest, God says something powerful: "Man looks at the outside, but God looks at the heart." These seasons that God leads us through are about God's endorsement, not man’s. “What God approves, he must prove.”Scott jonesGod does use people in the process of confirming and affirming the call and the readiness of a leader, but seasons of Obscurity aren't about you striving to get the attention or stir the people around you to take interest in your skills and ability. When God observes you in your process of obscurity, He will at some point approve your heart and declare that you are ready for the next phase of your purpose. “The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, but the Lord tests the heart.”Proverbs 17:3 NIVAnd when He does, it won't matter how young or how old you are, it won't matter who your parents are or are not, it won’t matter your position financially or your status socially.
