What motivates you? To motivate means to stimulate your interest or to cause you to be enthusiastic. What is it that is stimulating your interest? What is it that is causing you to be enthusiastic?
Are you motivated by the Word and the will or God or are you stimulated by outside influences? How much of what you do is based on what God has said and how much is based on what the world is doing and saying?
You need to be God motivated. Don't allow outside influences to stimulate your interests to the point that you override God's Word and will and begin to walk in disobedience. Everything in the world is designed to peak your interest. The houses, the cars, and the people are all presented in a way to intrigue you. When you are intrigued, you become fascinated and full of curiosity. When you are curious about something, you have a strong desire to know more about it.
The question then becomes, what is it that you are curious about? Are you curious about the things of God? Are you seeking to learn more about Him, His Word, and His Ways or are you curious about what is going on around you in the world?
It's okay to be curious but you can't allow you curiosity to take you into disobedience. The very thing that got Adam and Eve out of the will of God was that they allowed an outside voice (influence) peak their curiosity. That outside influence intrigued them to the point of influencing them to step outside of the will of God into disobedience.
SCRIPTURE MEDITATIONMatthew 6:33King James Version (KJV)33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
