"Watch Your Intentions!"; Genesis 6:5

<span style="font-weight: 400;">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. </span> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Get our 365-day Old Testament daily devotional book:</span> <a href= "https://amzn.to/3nYC821"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://amzn.to/3nYC821</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And grab Cali’s scripture study guide here:</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href= "https://comefollowmestudy.com/shop/">https://comefollowmestudy.com/shop/</a> Discount code: OMSS</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Music courtesy of bensound.com</span></p>
