All one's ways may
be pure in one's own eyes,
but the Lord weighs the spirit.
Proverbs 16:2
I'm sure -- just like me -- that you have NEVER justified an action ... right?
Ha!
Here are the top 3 ways we tend to justify our actions ...
- It's not that bad.
- Everyone's doing it.
- God just wants me to be happy. Therefore, it's okay.
I wonder what my spirit weighs whenever I try to dust off one of those excuses and use it again. (Heck, sometimes, those excuses are so well-used that I don't even have to dust them off.)
God is all-knowing, all-seeing. Just because no human sees your actions, doesn't mean that they're not seen. Passages like this always convict me: My standard needs to be in his eyes ... not mine.
In Christ's Love,
a guy who wants to return to the Gold Standard --
His (gold) ... not mine (dust bunnies and lint)
