A pomegranate is a round and red fruit. It can be strange looking and it can be easily dismissed because it doesn’t look like the “other” fruits. Once it is opened, it has a white inner flesh that is packed with lots of edible seeds. These seeds are full of health benefits and they can be included into your daily diet.
How many times have we dismissed something because it is packaged differently? Many times, we may have judged a book by its cover. We are quick to look at outward appearances and draw conclusions; instead of taking the time and figuring out what is within something or someone. However, God does not see as man sees, His ways are not our ways and He looks at the heart.
1 Samuel 16:7 (NKJV) – “But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have [c]refused him. For[d] the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
What have you dismissed that was rich with hidden blessings? What have you overlooked because it looks different? Take the time to reflect upon how you look at things and people. The pomegranate can be easily ignored, yet, it is packed with various health benefits that would bless your life.
