From my morning devotion:
Proverbs 15:8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
also:
Proverbs 21:2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.
Some people think that we are here for our own pleasure. We can do whatever we want and as long as we're good people, we get to go to heaven. You're sadly mistaken my friend.
Isaiah 43:4-7 Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. 5 Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; 6 I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth; 7 Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
We were created for God's glory and to do what he commands. We need to consider God in every decision we make. Does this bring Him glory or me?
Heavenly Father, help us to seek after you glory. We want to live a life which honors you. In Jesus name, amen.
