Today is Saturday, May 5, 2018. Hi, my name is Adam Burton, and you are listening to The Daily Devo. A short devotional designed to help you apply God's word to your life. The content comes from the Gospel Project.
Take a few moments and read Galatians 5 verses 16 through 26. There's a typical scene in many houses today where a father or mother instructs his or her son or daughter to clean up their room. Not a, clean it up this weekend or a pick it up after dinner, but I clean it up now. The piles of clothes have reached a breaking point for Mom, and the odor floating down the upstairs hallway is enough for Dad to demand it to be picked up immediately.
While we can sometimes manipulate or even force someone to do something we want them to do, it isn't as meaningful or fulfilling as if they did it because they wanted to. This is the key difference between behavior modification and heart change, changing our actions versus changing the motivations underneath our actions. Think about this. What are some ways you feel loved or valued by others?
Is it the action itself that matters or the heart behind the action? If you are a need a prayer, please get in touch with me. I would love to pray for you. You can connect with me on social media or shoot me an email at Adam at Adamverton.net.
