Motives

We may think we know what is right, but the LORD is the judge of our motives.

“‘Yet your real motive— your true intent—

Put me on trial, Lord, and cross-examine me. Test my motives and my heart.

The Lord’s light penetrates the human spirit, exposing every hidden motive.

But Jesus knew their evil motives. “You hypocrites!” he said. “Why are you trying to trap me?

You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.

But I, the Lord, search all hearts and examine secret motives. I give all people their due rewards, according to what their actions deserve.”

Proverbs 16:2 Job 10:13 Psalm 26:2 Proverbs 20:27 Matthew 22:18 James 4:3 Jeremiah 17:10

You can do what you please if what you do pleases God.
