1 Samuel 15:17

"Although you were once small in your eyes, did you not become the head of th etribes of Israel? The Lord appointed you king over Israel"

In this reading we see Saul, the appointed King of Israel, struggle with courage. Saul was physically head and shoulders above the rest but yet he saw himself small through his own eyes. We all fall into this trap of seeing ourselves through our human eye. When we look in the mirror we see a reflection of imperfection and perhaps "not good enough". However, this is not how Our Heavenly Father sees us. We often forget that we have been created in His perfect image and according to His perfect plan. We have been created with gifts and purpose to carry out a mission and to glorify Him. We need to see ourselves through those eyes and gain courage through the confidence knowing that He is our confident Creator.
