1 Samuel 16:7

1 Samuel 16:7
7 But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.

Sonnet 701 1 Samuel 16:7

There seems to be a market for good looks
There's lotions and there's potions and there's gels
There's surgery enough to fill up books
And it seems like almost any option sells.

Add in tattoos and liposuction too
And jewelry and wigs and botox shots
And there is almost nothing we won't do
To change appearances that life allots.

Does anyone remember in this haste
To mutilate with plastic body art
That God is unimpressed with such a waste
His vision being focused on the heart.

Don't fret or worship at your looking glass
It didn't come to stay, it came to pass.
