Motivation: 

 Defined as: The reason or reasons one has for acting or behaving in a particular way.

 b.The general desire or willingness of someone to do something.

 

  Think about it, everything we do in life has a motivating factor.

  The reason I mow the lawn is so it doesn't become overgrown and a haven for all types of critters .

  The reason for work is to provide for the family.

 The reason to exercise is to maintain health.

  Yes, even the most basic things in life come from what motivates us.

  Some of our desires or motivational factors are temporary, and some become a part of who we are.

  As a Christian, our motivation should always be our love for Jesus Christ. No ulterior motives or personal desires.

  The Bible points out to us that we can be doing many things right in our walk with the Lord but lacking the most important thing. 

  Jesus said in, Revelation 2:4, Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. (KJV)

  People of our world today seem to have a problem with something motivating them to do the basics of serving God.

( Prayer, Bible study, church attendance, following the leadership of God's Holy Spirit)

  2 Corinthians 5:14, For the love of Christ constraineth (urgently compels) us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: v15, And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. (KJV)

  My prayer today is, that our service and commitment to God will always be;

Our love for Jesus Christ. Amen.

Have a Blessed Week!
