What Is Right?

All a man’s ways seem right to him, but the Lord evaluates the motives. Doing what is righteous and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. Proverbs 21:2‭-‬3 HCSB

If I dont bathe my day, first, in the Lord's presence my own self-righteous gauge will kick in. If I do not live out of Him, then self rules. It is very subtle: here a little, there a little and gradually I slip into living for and out of self.

The Self meter is constantly running, evaluating all against a set of self-beliefs and internal rules. The meter is run by feeling 'good'. If I feel good I am good. Meet God I.

My constant battle is against this lie. It is not enough that I say I am right. When I stand before my judge, the great I Am, the truth will come home but it will be too late. He is the Door, the Way, the Truth and the Life. The question will be: what have you done with Jesus? If I have lived for self then I have made His sacrifice as nothing.

Selfish living determines my future. I will live, for eternity, with my deceiver who has no love for me. In fact he will laugh at me for eternity as he has been successful in tearing me out of my saviour's hands.

As I am still alive it would be best to lay down my selfishness and choose death to self and come alive in Him. Amen!
