1 Chronicles 28:9
"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.
Proverbs 16:2
All a man's ways seem innocent to him,
but motives are weighed by the LORD.
1 Corinthians 4:5
Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.
a. Why do you think our motives are so important to God?
He wants us to glorify Him and we can't do that if our motives are selfish.
b. Do you believe that the people you come in contact with think much about the motives behind their actions. Explain.
I think that maybe I shouldn't be as concerned with other's motives where God is concerned. I think I should focus on my own relationship with God before I point out anyone else's flawed motives.
