Proverbs 21:1-3
The Message

God Examines Our Motives

21 Good leadership is a channel of water controlled by God;
    he directs it to whatever ends he chooses.

2 We justify our actions by appearances;
    God examines our motives.

3 Clean living before God and justice with our neighbors
    mean far more to God than religious performance.
