Motive
There is a reason behind everything I do. Sometimes it’s simple and/or stupid. Sometimes the things I do are well thought out. I can keep my motives from others, but I can’t keep them from the Lord. He knows my thoughts. He knows my motivation for everything. In the political arena, there are many opportunities to serve the people represented. There are also multiple opportunities to serve ones self. The Lord knows which is which, while I’m not always so sure. Check this out….
I think it’s important to go to the Lord with every idea or activity so that He can keep check on my motive. His Spirit can help me be clearly discerning with every single decision –whether big or small. I want His Wisdom to direct my paths. Check this out…
9 In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps. 20 Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers, and blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord. 21 The wise in heart are called discerning, and gracious words promote instruction. (Proverbs 16:9,20-21 NIV)
I want to walk with the Lord in all my ways today. I want Him to speak into my choices and decisions. I want to tune my heart to listen to His voice and I want to have the courage to be obedient to His directions and His instructions. Being consistently obedient to His calling will keep my motives pure and clean.
