True Motives

9/20/2014

1 Comment

 
"All a person's ways seem pure to them, but motives are weighed by the Lord.  Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans." -Proverbs 16:2-3 (NIV)
My daughter is learning that actions have consequences and that the two of us don't always agree on what is best!  There are times when she thinks her actions are harmless fun, but I see them as unsafe.  Sometimes it takes a soft tumble or a skinned knee for her to understand exactly what I mean.

As God's children, we sometimes experience similar differences.  We may view our actions as right or pure, but God looks at things differently than we do!  God searchers our hearts and knows the true motives of our actions.  To be right with Him, we should commit everything we do to Him.  With God guiding our ways, we are sure to act in graciousness, caring, and love...with true motives!

Turn to God in all you do and your motives will be true!


Prayer:
Dear God-

Thank You for looking out for me, knowing what I need.  Help me to listen to Your plan and understand what I am to do for You.  In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
