DOING THE RIGHT THINGS, WITH THE RIGHT MOTIVES
Proverbs 21:3
To do righteous things and to speak the truth
Are more pleasing before God than the blood of sacrifices.
Personal Challenge
God has made it clear throughout His scriptures that He is not interested in how meticulous we are in following the rubrics of our faith. They are important and it is good that we desire to do them well so that we can glorify Him, but if our hearts are not pure, then He sees these actions as waste. He desires us to live righteous lives, loving others, speaking the truth in love, and being humble before Him and others. Our sinful nature, our stubborn will, does make this difficult, but He has given us a Helper to grow in His image. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner!
