What is your Motive?

Bible references: 

Matthew 15: 1 – 13; 26: 19 – 23, 47 – 49; 21: 15; Daniel 3: 13

God will only reward the right motive and He will judge all motives (right or wrong).

Motive is what is within. 

It drives us to take action. 

If your motive is right, you will stand the test of time.

Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego had the right motive behind not bowing down to the king’s idol, their mind was made up that even if God didn’t save them, they were not bowing down to the king’s idol; their motive was right and they were rewarded.

In any situation we find ourselves, let us have the right motive.

The wrong motive may work for a while but it will eventually fail.
