1 Samuel 16:7, “But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or height, for I have rejected him; the LORD does not see as man does. For man sees the outward appearance, but the LORD sees the heart.” The phrase “measure of a man” may come from this verse. Our Creator looks at us and measures us using His divine standard. Of course no one can be found perfect but the question is, “Are you trying to do the best you are able?”
