What’s Your Motive?

. . . You do not have because you do not ask.
You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives (wickedly), so that you may spend it on (in) your pleasures.
James 4:2c-3 NASB1995

We sometimes, often, ask for treasures, earthly treasures, that reveal where our heart is. Let us remember that what we  treasure most is where our hearts abide. (Matthew 6:21) God blesses the gifts He gives.

He blesses our obedience.

and whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight.
