In 2016, football player Colin Kaepernick gained national attention when he protested by not standing while the our national anthem was being performed before the start of games. Motivated by what he viewed as the oppression of non-white races in this country, Kaepernick was cheered by some and hated by others. The lesson is this: our actions have consequences, and we need to weigh them very carefully before we act.
Does the Bible speak of motivations? Glad you asked.
Proverbs 16:3
“Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established.”
Proverbs 4:13
Take firm hold of instruction, do not let go; Keep her, for she is your life.”
Do you think Colin considered God in his decision?
