Welcome to One Minute Scripter Study, a Come Follow Me podcast.

We are your host, Kristen Walker-Smith and Callie Black.

Hey, it's Callie Black here with today's thought. Let's open up to Genesis chapter 6 verse 5.

The people alive in Noah's time didn't just do bad things.

The Lord noticed that when looking at these people,

and we read this in Genesis chapter 6, verse 5, quote, every imagination of the thoughts of their

heart was only evil continually. So they all had evil intentions behind their wicked actions. The Lord knows

everyone's intentions. This is sometimes great to remember, like when I intend to do something good,

but then the messiness of life or just plain forgetfulness seems to block me from doing it.

You get credit for having good intentions, and I love that. But on the opposite end, God also

knows when we do things with bad intentions. He knows if we said a rude comment 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 thing that only God knows is the intentions behind our actions for better or for worse.

So the takeaway of the day in five words or less, your intentions matter.

Thank you so much for being here today and for coming closer to Christ

with me, one minute at a time.

Friend, if you love this podcast, you are going to love this. For the very first time,

our one-minute scripture study book is going to include dates. Yes, for 2026 as we dive

into the Old Testament, every day is dated and it is

spiral bound. It's going to be awesome. If you want to get the spiral bound version, you're going to

need to check out your Costco in Arizona, in Idaho, in Utah. If you don't live in one of those places,

grab a family member, have them get you a couple of them.
