The Heart Behind Actions

S - 2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes,
But the LORD weighs the hearts.
O - Solomon is talking about the fact that every single person feels that what they do is right. However, God is the only one that truly can determine why something is being done.
A - There are two things that I can apply to my life. First, I shouldn't be judging people as I don't know what is going on in someone's life and/or heart. Judging someone based on a single act may not be the wisest decision as the heart is really what I would need to understand. This is extremely important as I train our children; focus on the heart not as much about the actions that can be seen. Once the heart is right, the actions will follow. Second, when I am making decisions I need to step back and look for God's guidance as He may be leading me in a direction that goes against what I feel is right. Paying attention to and seeking God's direction will save a lot of heartache as He will never lead me down a path that I can't handle.
P - Heavenly Father, I love and adore you! Bless my ways today and speak to me. Help me to not judge others but to instead learn and search for what may be in their heart instead so I can better help or love them. I pray for healing today for my family and I, 100% restoration in our health.
