People may be pure in their own eyes, but The Lord examines their motives.
Proverbs 16:2 NLT Bible
It's very
interesting to know why we do the things we do. What are our motives for doing
them? As children of God, it's crucial that we search ourselves to make sure
that whatever we're doing, it's all for the glory of God. When we help someone
in need or do some other good deed, it must be because we love God. If we're
doing it for approval, recognition or reward, then our motives are wrong. We
can't hide from God. He sees our heart, knows our intents and is not pleased
when our good deeds are for self-gain.
If our
motives are not pure, then whatever we are doing becomes tedious and is
reflected in the outcome. We can be doing everything right, but for the wrong
reasons. If we find ourselves being peeved and annoyed when what we do goes
unnoticed, then it's time to take a step back, examine our motives and get
right with God. When our motives are about serving and helping others and being
obedient to God, we find pleasure in what we do and it's evident in the outcome
and in our joyful countenance. We need to be continually examining ourselves to
ensure that God gets the praise and glory in everything we do.
Thank you
Lord for knowing me. You see my heart and know why I do the things I do. Keep
my motives pure and may I never do anything for self praise or reward. My
desire is to glorify You in all I do. I love you Jesus. Amen!
Be Blessed!
