The Lord Weighs The Heart
A person may think their own ways are right, but the Lord weighs the heart. Proverbs 21:2, NIV God knows your true motives. You may try to justify your actions based on what you know, and you may feel like you are doing the right thing, but God will look at your heart. He will check your desires and the factors that contribute to your decisions. This is the reason why we need God’s guidance. Sometimes, we are deceived by our selfish motives.

Seek God’s Wisdom Above All Else
Apply your heart to instruction and your ears to words of knowledge. Proverbs 23:12, NIV We are somehow living in a world where people tend to feel entitled to the things that they have or the knowledge that they gained. And because of this, they rely so much on what they learned rather than listening to trusted and wise people. We may sometimes think that we have already gone through enough experiences in life and that we don’t need other people to instruct and guide us, but this verse simply reminds us to seek wise counsel. There are still so many things that we need to learn, and other people…
