Is what I’m doing worth it? Am I doing it for the right reasons?
Does it matter why I do anything?
Hi, I’m Noah Saylor from Sherwood Oaks Christian Church with today’s
minute message.
I’ve had to reflect quite a bit about my own intentions recently after learning more deeply about the tragedy of Cain and Abel. Both offered a tribute to God from their respective places, but only one had a pure motive.
Proverbs says that “People may be right in their own eyes, but God judges the heart.” We can put on a facade, pretend, overlook, or justify all we want, but in the end, it’s genuine relationship God wants, not going through the motions.
And this was the downfall of Cain. There was no love in his heart, only obligation. Let his tragedy be a sign that we should want to want to glorify our Father in Heaven, and if we get that right, everything else follows.
