Some people like to think that as long as their actions are right they are okay. For instance if they tell on someone for doing something wrong they think that is good even if the main reason they did it was to see that person get punished because they do not like them. There are many times where we do good things so that we will feel good about our selves or look good in the eyes of others. The second verse of this chapter says:
“All a person’s ways seem right in his own opinion,
but the Lord evaluates the motives.”
God evaluates our motives, and our motives matter to him. Are we doing right only to look good? Or do we do right when no one else will even know?
