Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the heart. Proverbs 21:2 Both were sons of Adam and Eve. Both brought offerings. One brought from the fruit of the ground; the other from the firstborn of his flock. One was accepted; one rejected. Why? Cain and Abel brought different offerings with different motives. Cain came with a proud, unbelieving heart, but Abel came in faith (Hebrews 11:4). In his own eyes, Cain thought his offering was acceptable as evidenced by his anger when it was rejected. But God saw through Cain’s actions to his heart. When people view your actions, they cannot see the “why” behind them, but God can. Even when you feel justified in your behaviors and words, God sees your motivation because He looks at your heart. Have you examined the true motives behind your actions lately? Are they honoring to God? Would He be pleased with your offering? Pray for the Lord to create a clean heart in you (Psalm 51:10) and pray also for people and leaders in this nation to stop justifying their wrong actions and return to God in faith.
