Meditation

This verse you're referring to sounds like Proverbs 16:2 from the Bible. The Book of Proverbs is part of the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible) and offers wisdom and insights on daily living, morality, and one's relationship with God.

Let's break down Proverbs 16:2:

"All a person’s ways seem pure to them,"

This portion suggests that individuals often see their own actions as justified or right. It's a comment on human self-perception and the tendency to justify one's own behavior.

"but motives are weighed by the Lord."

This second part emphasizes that while humans may justify their actions to themselves and others, it's the deeper motivations or intentions behind these actions that God examines. In other words, while we might be able to deceive ourselves or others about our true intentions, we can't deceive God.

Together, the verse emphasizes the idea that self-awareness and genuine intent matter more to God than outward appearances or self-justifications. It's a call for introspection and to be genuine in one's actions, knowing that God sees beyond the surface.

Prayer

Lord, guide our hearts and minds towards kindness and wisdom, and may our actions reflect Your boundless love and grace.
