Motive Matters

Why do you do what you do? I mean really, go beyond the pat answer off the top of your head and think deeply about it. What is the motive behind your actions? Taking an honest look below the surface of our lives can be a good thing. Without that occasional examination, it's easy to drift into the place of doing right things
for wrong reasons.

One of the guys at our men's prayer meeting today shared a thought provoking Bible verse: "Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God."

God's desire for the follower of Jesus is integrity of inner motive and outward action. He knows our hearts and that will be the basis of lasting reward. Motive matters!
