True Intentions!

Proverbs 16: 2
All a man's ways seem innocent to him, but motives are weighed by the LORD.

In our service for the Kingdom of God, are we more focused on our reputation, than we are on God’s?
Our greatest intentions, should be motivated by our desire to bring pleasure to God, and not to us.

What are your true intentions in your service to God?
Would you want God to expose your true intentions?
That might be a dangerous prayer.

If we are motivated by holiness and compassion, then our desires probably match His motives.
What God really desires, is that His motives, become ours.

Jesus had a very direct visit with the Pharisees and Sadducees one day.
He knew their hearts, even when they didn’t know their own hearts.

These religious leaders seemed right on the outside, but Jesus saw what was on the inside.
White washed tombs, expressed a beautiful exterior, which masked the deep death within.

Does it frighten you at all in knowing, that Jesus knows what you’re thinking at this very moment?
All our ways seem innocent to us, but the final assessment of our motives, comes directly from God.

Are we acting out our faith, with self interests in mind, or a passion for God and His righteous Kingdom?
Just be sure of this, God weighs our true motives
