WHY I DO IT
Today's reading: Zechariah 1-7

"The Lord Almighty sent me this message, Say to all your people and your priests, During these seventy years of exile, when you fasted and mourned in the summer and at the festival in early autumn, was it really for me that you were fasting?" Zechariah 7:4-5 NLT

Do I do what I do for You, Lord?

Do I gather with other believers for You?

Do I bow for you?

Do I serve to bring You glory?

Do I lead a godly life because of the benefits it brings, or for You?

Am I staying away from sin because You ask it, or is it because I've found it benefits me?

Or do I do what I do out of habit? Routine? To look good around others? Because it's always been done in a certain way and at a certain time?

Zechariah asked the people, and the priests, just what You asked him to ask--Just why are you doing what you're doing?

Thanks for asking me the same question this morning.
