Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening"
Morning “The Lord looketh on the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:1 , 1 Samuel 16:4-14 , 1 Samuel 16:22 , 1 Samuel 16:23 1 Samuel 16:1 It was both natural and right that the prophet should lament Saul’s sin, but he must not repine at the Lord’s punishment of him, but rather bestir himself to be God’s messenger to the better king who would one day prove a great blessing to Israel.

While growing up in Texas, I enjoyed my mother's buttermilk biscuits made from 'scratch' every morning for breakfast. But there was not a single ingredient in those biscuits that I would have enjoyed by itself. And even after they were mixed together, I would not have cared for the raw biscuit dough.
