"Watch Your Intentions!"; Genesis 6:5

Have you ever had the best of intentions to serve someone, and then everything got in your way and it couldn’t happen? Let me tell you what I’ve learned from Noah’s time.  The people around at Noah's time were not good. And it wasn't just because of their actions. We learn that "every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually." So they did bad things, but they also had evil intentions! This is sometimes great to remember, like when I have every intention to do something good, but the messiness of life or just plain forgetfulness seem to block me from doing it. You get credit for having good intentions! But on the opposite end, God also knows when we do things with bad intentions. He knows if that rude comment was said ignorantly or purposefully. He knows if we decided to skip something important because it was too much for us, or if we wanted to get out of it. Our actions matter! But the only thing that only God knows are the intentions behind our actions, for better or for worse.   Get our 365-day Old Testament daily devotional book: https://amzn.to/3nYC821 And grab Cali’s scripture study guide here: https://comefollowmestudy.com/shop/ Discount code: OMSS   Music courtesy of bensound.com
