When dealing with crimes, one of the questions that is undoubtedly asked is "What's their motive here?" Think about what motivates you...position? Power? Prestige? People? Politics? Seeing someone else fail? Helping someone else fail? Encouragement? Helpfulness?
If we peel back all the layers, and got down to the bare raw truth, what would be revealed as out true motive? Today's verse reminds us that our motives may be pure in our own eyes (we can convince ourselves all we wish) but God KNOWS and examines our true raw motives. Let our motive become loving God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, and loving others as ourselves.
