Intent


Usually when we hear the word intent it is dealing with legal matters. Usually trying to learn if someone purposely did something. What about your intent as a Christ follower? Do you ever think about what a Christian’s objective to life should be? Let’s take a deeper look at the word.

Definition of Intent: resolved or determined to do (something)

Synonyms of Intent: aim · purpose · objective · goal · hope · plan · desire · ambition· absorbed · engrossed · fascinated

Does this word describe your pursuit of God?

Paul talked about God’s intent for us. His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, according to his eternal purpose that He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.  - Ephesians 3:10-12

Today ask God to help your intent of pursuit in serving Him. Amen?
