Bible Commentary

Genesis 6:5

The total moral corruption of humanity is described in absolute terms — every imagination, only evil, continually. This is not exaggeration; it is the true diagnosis of a heart cut off from God.

Memory phrase: God sees our hearts.

Talk about it: What kinds of thoughts do you think God is happy to see in our hearts?

Prayer: God, please look at my heart and help me think good thoughts.
