I Will do Good Deeds with Umility, not Pride


If you are wise and understand God’s ways, prove it by living an honorable life, doing good works with the humility that comes from wisdom.
James 3:13 NLT

I need to do good things but do them wihtout boasting and be humble.  I do good but not so I can boast about how I good I am.  I need to remember that I do good things to demonstrate my faith and having humility will give me wisdom.

God Wants You to Be Sincere When You Come to Him


Tell them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: The people of Israel have set up idols in their hearts and fallen into sin, and then they go to a prophet asking for a message. So I, the Lord, will give them the kind of answer their great idolatry deserves.
Ezekiel 14:4 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/ezk.14.4.NLT

God knows when you're not really serving Him.  I need to be sincere in serving Him and not have any other god but God alone.  I need to make sure that He is the most important thing in my life.  I can't do whatever I want and then go to God for an answer.  I need to serve the Lord with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength.
