Today\u2019s Inspiration Station With Rhonnie Scheuerman<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

What Are Your Real Motives?<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“And you, my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches every heart and understands every motive behind the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever. 1 Chronicles 28:9<\/p>\n

When Ananias and Sapphira saw others selling their land and giving the proceeds to the church so the poor could be cared for, they thought it was a great idea – in theory. However, when they sold some land they withheld part of the money and then lied about it. They wanted increased visibility and spiritual status without paying retail for it. They wanted to \u2018look the part\u2019 without having to pay the price. But Peter exposed their sin, saying,\u00a0\u2018You didn\u2019t lie to people. You lied to God!\u2019(Acts 5:4).\u00a0Not only were their motives exposed, they both dropped dead. And as a result,\u00a0\u2018Great fear gripped the entire church and everyone else who heard what had happened\u2019\u00a0(v. 11).\u00a0One pastor says:\u00a0\u2018Numerous Sundays I\u2019ve preached a message that deeply moved the members of my congregation. But ironically I\u2019d \u201cprepared\u201d by arguing with my wife on the way to church, or making life miserable for my children. Years of practice came to my rescue and I easily morphed into \u201cthe pastor\u201d, becoming instantly compassionate, holy, and spiritual. I was faking … [because] feeling needed, respected, and wanted can become as great a motivation as love for Christ.\u2019\u00a0When it comes to examining your motives, here are two Scriptures you need to read and consider carefully and prayerfully: 1)\u00a0\u2018The LORD searches every heart and understands every motive behind the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you.\u2019\u00a02)\u00a0\u2018I the LORD search the heart and examine the mind, to reward a man according to his conduct, according to what his deeds deserve\u2019 (Jeremiah\u00a017:10).<\/p>\n

Prayer\u00a0Heavenly Father<\/strong><\/p>\n

forgive me for the times when my motivations are not honoring to You, <\/strong><\/p>\n

and help me be sincere in what I do. In Jesus\u2019 Name, Amen<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
