Jeremiah 45
5 And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the Lord: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest.
WHY DO WE SERVE GOD?
It is always good to do some self examination.
The Lord uses this verse to question us:
Are we serving God to further our own agenda?
Are our motives pure before God?
God requires not just outward purity in our service for him, but our motives/inner life must be pure.
God says us to, are we seeking to further ourselves and to enhance our standing in the world?
It is dangerous, especially for people who share gospel truths online, to seek their own agenda, God says:
SEEK THEM NOT
All of us, me especially need to check our motives, we must remember we are not here to promote ourselves but Christ.
God bless you'
