1 The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD.
2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.
3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.
We begin this chapter with God preparing our hearts so that it inspires what we speak. God does not want us for our worldly abilities, he wants us so we can be molded into His image.Then we see that the ways of a righteous man are clean to himself but God ponders and judges the true motives of the spirit. While man can be self deceived God judges His true motives.God always judges the heart and not the deeds we do. Finally the any job we do should be done as though we were doing it God Himself. This includes the jobs we get paid for, to me if we are not doing our job as if we were doing for God we may not get paid what we should or could lose that job. If we will take God as our partner in everything we do it will succeed.
