I came across this verse in my quiet time today. While the context of this passage is the Lord’s disgust with Israel’s leaders, priests, and prophets, I couldn’t help but think of our Christian world today. It made me examine my motives and ask some penetrating questions to my own heart.
Micah 3:11 NLT
For those of you in ministry, or aspiring to be ministers, here are the questions I’ve been chewing on:
1) What are my motives for doing ministry?
2) Why do I serve the way you do?
3) Am I in this for the Lord?
4) Am I merely doing ministry for some kind of vain glory?
5) Has ministry turned into a paycheck for me?
6) Am I really depending on the Lord, or simply claiming to do so?
7) What needs to change in my life so that this verse isn’t true of me?
