Many people have the appearance of being religious, but few seem to truly love God and follow His word. As a rule, men want to feel and look religious.
There are times when we attempt to do the right thing only to have our motive judged as impure. In such times, we can learn much from David's example.
It is always right to do right, but it is more perfectly right to do right for the right reasons. In other words, serve the Lord, but do so out of a pure motive.
Often the best way to expose one’s motives involves asking and answering the question “Why?” This question may resurface at the judgment seat of Christ.
