Friday!
Proverbs!
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes,
but the Lord weighs the heart.
Proverbs 21:2 ESV
I not only do what I think is right, I can convince myself that what I want is right.
I can find evidence to back myself up.
(I only look in places that support my thinking)
Let's try this:
Chocolate.
It doesn't take long to find the beneficial properties of chocolate, it comes from a plant so that makes it a vegetable & I can justify any quantity.
Anytime.
And I can do the same with any niggling desire... alcohol, drugs, sex, money, success, harm, follows, thanks, likes...power...
I can make anything right in my own eyes.
But the Lord weighs my heart.
He examines my heart.
My motives.
It's not the quality of my argument that he's interested in, but what's going on in my heart.
Is it "Thy Kingdom come" or my kingdom come.
Who's ruling, who or what am I worshipping?
That's what interests Him.
The more I let him weigh, examine, quietly and gently question, the more I align with Him, and the things I desire shift...
Lord, examine my heart today.
Let me know what you see.
Thanks
Amen.
