rsv@Psalms:5:5 @ For thou art not a God who delights in wickedness; evil may not sojourn with thee.

Concerning the Saint's Best Intentions - 2 best reasons why. (How often we lose sight)

For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness.

Neither shall evil dwell with thee.

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth.

Their inward part is very wickedness.

Their throat is an open sepulchre.

They flatter with their tongue.

They have rebelled against thee.

For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous.

Let them fall by their own counsels.

Destroy thou them, O God; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions.

Let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice.

Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them.

Let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness.

kjv@Hebrews:12:13 @ And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.

Does the Saint Ever Truly Fulfill that which He/She Best Intended? (How now to better fulfill our best intentions)

Give ear to my words.

Most times actions speak loader than words. (Faithfulness/Sincerity/Humility/Correctablility/Perseverance)

Am I giving HIM reason to give an ear? or just more of the same? (mercy not deserved/the attempt is appreciated)

Am I going in from the start to first hear HIS words?

Am I speaking from the heart or just my lips?

Consider my meditation.

My thought life as it lately has been... should it really be considered?

Have my fears and doubts and business, selfish blindness and temper and lusts clouded my thought processes?

Hearken unto the voice of my cry,

My King? (To what exent?)

My God? (Supreme/Sovereign)

Intend to do what God intends for you to do... Intend to be what all God intends for you to do!

Stay close by His side and He will lead you by His stength and lovingkindness all the way there!
