What is in your heart?

Proverbs 21:2-3

2 All a man's way seem right to him, but the Lord weighs the heart.
3 To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.

How many time have you done something that's a good thing but your motive wasn't right? Like offering your help to someone and really hoping that they will say no, or acting concerned about their problems only to talk about them behind their back.

God knows our thoughts and motives. We can do good things and pat ourselves on the back for it, but are we doing the right things?

It's hard to admit it when we're wrong but God wants us to do just that, to do the right thing with the right attitude. This will allow us to be at peace with Him and with others. To understand that this life we live is about Him is a big step in the right direction.
