“And in His law he meditates day and night.” (Psalm 1:2)

How often do I forget You, Lord? How few and how shallow are my thoughts about You? How selfish and self-absorbed are my thoughts and utilitarian and pragmatic requests of You?

The consequence for them will be dire, eternal separation from God. The consequence for those of us who believe is that they will not be among us any longer inciting us to evil, deceiving us with falsehood, or leading us astray.
