[Bible Trek Luke] God Sees What Is in Your HeartSample

God Sees what is in Your Heart

“You are always making yourselves look good, but God sees what is in your heart. The things that most people think are important are worthless as far as God is concerned.” Luke 16:15

Read the Bible 

Jesus teaches us that money and the things money buys are not as important as God and the things of God’s kingdom. He knows that people in the crowd listening to him love money, but Jesus reminds them that God sees what’s in their hearts. He tells them that it's what they think that is important, that just making themselves look good is worthless to God.

Think about it

We’re often tempted to use the money God has given us to buy things that we don’t really need but which will make us look good to others. But God asks us to look in our hearts to see if we’re focusing on the things of God or on ourselves. What is inside our hearts is more important than what people see on the outside.

Do something about it

What can you give to people who have less than you? Talk with your family about putting some money aside each week to give to a ministry that serves people who have great needs. Write your family’s plan in your “FaithBook” and begin to pray for God’s blessing on the people you will be serving.

Talk to God

“God, help me to remember that money and the things money can buy are not as important as what is in my heart!”
