Applying Scripture: 1 Samuel 16:7

Let's take a moment to reflect on a timeless scripture - 1 Samuel 16:7: "The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." This scripture challenges us to consider a deeper perspective beyond physical appearances. How might this divine viewpoint influence our understanding of eating disorders?

In what ways does this scripture challenge societal views on body image and beauty standards?

As we have discussed, eating disorders are often surrounded by stigma, fueled by societal emphasis on physical appearance. How can the perspective from 1 Samuel 16:7 inspire us to challenge and overcome these stigmas?
