Proverbs 21:2:
“Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.”
Nearly identical to Proverbs 16:2 and 12:15, this repeated theme should catch our attention by now: we are terrible judges of our own motives. We justify, rationalize, and feel entirely correct … while God, who ponders hearts, sees the actual truth beneath the justification.
This isn’t meant to produce paralysis or self-doubt about everything. It’s meant to produce humility …an ongoing willingness to ask God to examine motives we can’t fully see in ourselves.
Prayer: Lord, You ponder my heart more accurately than I ever could. Show me what I can’t see about myself. Amen.
