Welcome back to another blog. It has been way too long since I have uploaded one for you guys but I am back!
As I have written in my previous
blog, the theme for this year is about intentionality. We must be intentional
about the choices we make that align with not only our goals, but also with our
faith and values.
The Bible states in Ephesians
5:15-16: ‘Be very careful, then, how you live not as unwise but as wise, making
the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.’ This demonstrates
that we must be intentional about the decisions we make, use opportunities
purposefully and live with wisdom; as it is the most significant thing we can
pursue in life. Proverbs 4:7 says that; ‘Wisdom is the principal thing;
therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting, get understanding.’
Wisdom is the ability to make good
judgement. According to an article written by Ben Dean Ph.D. wisdom is produced
through both knowledge and experience. However, whilst this is true, God is the
predominant foundation of wisdom. True wisdom flows from Him. This is stated in
Proverbs 2:6 where it declares; ‘For the Lord gives wisdom; from
his mouth come knowledge and understanding.’ Without true wisdom from God, we
cannot make valuable and impactful decisions.
As we have entered into the fifth
month of 2026; the month that symbolises God’s grace, favour, and goodness, how
have you been intentional so far this year? Have you made meaningful decisions
that align with everything you set out to do in 2026? Have you used your opportunities
purposefully and have you allowed God to guide you?
To be intentional is to first
discover your WHY? What is it that God has set out for you to do? Why
does this matter to you? And how are your choices impacting not only your own
life but the lives of others around you?
Once you begin to understand your
purpose you can begin to prioritise the things that truly align with your values
and start building routine and structure that gets you to that goal.
Finally, the courage to say no. Intentionality
also requires discipline; having the willpower to say yes to what contributes
to your goals and no to anything that distracts you from them. This is how you
remain intentional.
I pray that for the next seven months of this year, you will allow God to use you to make the right decisions for your life. In Psalm 32:8 It states; ‘I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.’ In this verse God is promising to guide and protect you in whatever you choose to do.
He will
never leave you, nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). I pray that you will allow God
to lead and guide you, to make decisions that aligns with his purpose for you. Set
the Lord at the centre of your life, be intentional with your relationship with
Him and watch how everything comes into place for you (Romans 8:28).
God bless x
