Fushigi na Butterfly In my search for a monthly Bible verse for the upcoming newsletter, I stumbled upon this little gem here:Proverbs 21:2 All a man's ways seem right to him, but the LORD weighs the heart. It got me to thinking about actions versus the intentions of those actions. I know it's come up at least twice in this guild the question of swearing, or, related in a way, modesty in clothing, and whether these things (or in this case, immodesty), are sinful in and of themselves. Here, the bit about God weighing one's hearts seems to imply that He is actually judging a person's intent? I don't know. That's somewhat how I interpret it. What do you guys think? I believe it means that God knows our thoughts and our motives even before we ourselves notice them. We always like to think that we are in the right, but God alone knows whether we are or not. We cannot always assume that we are in the right, especially if God is trying to show us we are not.
I believe matters of dress (modest or immodest) and matters of speech are covered in the Bible. How far people want to take that is based upon their understanding of the Scriptures, and the convictions that God lays upon their hearts. We are exhorted to keep our conversation, dress, and manner of actions holy, and without blame.
