Be Intentional

Our lives are filled to overflowing with good and righteous things to do with our lives. And yet, every day, reality sets in and most of the things we want to do are pushed aside by the things we have to do. This is why most people feel like their lives are out of control…with no hope in sight.

But there is hope! In fact, it’s a promise from God to make everything in your life work for good. Everything! Chances are you already know about this promise without living it out in complete peace for the rest of your life.

But it’s more than a promise. It’s a contract between you and God, and He’s more than ready to fulfill His end of the contract. It’s up to you to complete it. Romans 8:28 tells us that all things will work for good for those who love God and live according to His Purpose…and His Purpose is very clear. Jesus came to seek and save the lost…that none should be lost. That was and is His Purpose. And when you live your life for His Purpose, you complete your end of the contract.

But this is a contract (and a promise) that’s only valid when you keep your end of the bargain. And what a bargain it is! Leading everyone, every day, closer to Jesus in return for having God Himself making everything in your life work for good. You get to be a continual blessing to everyone around you while having God, the Creator of Everything, be a continual blessing to you.

But it has to be intentional every moment of every day. If it’s not intentional, you’ll only experience a few of the opportunities God places in your path. The steps of a righteous man are ordered of the Lord as are the steps of those He wants you to influence. Indeed, your days are filled with amazing opportunities that you’ll only enjoy when you’re expecting them to happen. You have to be intentional!
