Be Intentional

Today is the last Sunday of the sixth month of 2022. Next Sunday will be the first Sunday of the seventh month of 2022. Have you been living intentionally? What life incentives (goals) did you set in January, that are still undone? What things have you been meaning to get around to but time is going so fast and you know there is a strong chance it might be left undone.

Can I challenge you? Take one or two items on your “To Do List” and be intentional to get it completed before December 25, 2022, which is the last Sunday of 2022. This will give you six months to finish strong.

The intentional definition is “done on purpose; deliberate.” You will be amazed at the gratification you will feel along with the sense of accomplishment. I believe intentionality is the first step to building consistency in life. I also think when we fail to be intentional and lack consistency --the enemy enjoys seeing our mental “To Do List” grow and defeat-attitude plagues us. How do we turn it around?

Be intentional and then consistency becomes part of your daily lifestyle. God has a lot to say about plans with a successful outcome. Read them below and if one speaks to you write it on a sticky note on your “To Do List”. Remember we have been empowered by Holy Spirit according to Philippians 4:13, “For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength!!!” Yes, we do not have to accomplish the To Do List in our own power but we do it via Christ Jesus and he gives us the strength (wisdom, tenacity, vigor) to finish them.

Be encouraged and let these scriptures be your meditation---let them permeate throughout your being so that you finish strong!

• Psalms 20:4; May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.

• Proverbs 90:12; Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

• Psalm 143:8; Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.

Prayer:

God thank you for shining your light on the To Do List, and giving me the wisdom to know I can do all things with Holy Spirit guiding and strengthening me. Show me how to live each day intentionally and use the time you have allotted me wisely and not foolishly. Show me how to manage my time well. Forgive me for the time I have wasted. Teach me to number my days--- that I may gain a heart of wisdom. Father help me to live each day intentionally. In the name of Jesus the Christ, Amen. Amen. Amen.
