motive

Jonathan Edwards, one of America's greatest theologians and one of the catalysts of the of the First Great Awakening, lived by two resolutions above all others:
    Resolution One: I will live for God.
    Resolution Two: If no one else does, I still will.


In The Pursuit of God, A. W. Tozer issued this invitation:
“Let every man abide in the calling wherein he is called and his work will be as sacred as the work of the ministry. It is not what a man does that determines whether his work is sacred or secular, it is why he does it. 

The motive is everything. 

Let a man sanctify the Lord God in his heart and he can thereafter do no common act.”

Will you “sanctify the Lord God” in your heart today?
