"So they come to you as people do, they sit before you [as] My people, and they hear your words, but they do not do them; for with their mouth they show much love, [but] their hearts pursue their [own] gain. Ezekiel 33:31 NKJV
As a professing Christian man, you probably attend church services regularly. That’s a good thing. You might also go to a weekly men’s Bible study. That’s also a positive. And you might even give till it hurts to your church or other ministry. God approves!
There are a lot of things we Christians do and say because we know God wants us to do them. But how often do we take the time to examine our real motives for the things we do? How often do we look into our hearts to make sure that the things we do and say are truly motivated out of true love for God and not out of what we consider proper religious duty?
God sees our hearts first, not our outward religious acts. That’s why it’s important to engage in some regular self-examination to ensure that we’re not just doing the right things, but doing them for the right reasons.
Prayer: Lord, it’s so easy to play the part of a Christian man in today’s world. But I know that You look at the heart first. Help me to examine my heart often so that all I say and all I do is motivated by my true love for You.
