In this year of
“Moving Forward” we should use all resources available to help us on our
journey. Three years ago I preached a sermon series on “Intentionality”. The
next few weeks I will be re-posting (and updating) some of that teaching to
help us in 2019’s quest.
We have all had those ah-ha moments. It's when
we've heard something that brought clarity and direction to our lives. Maybe it
was at a conference, a church service, on TV, or you read it somewhere. If your
like me you wanted to write it down so you wouldn't forget. Sometimes this moment
occurs with a thought that you speak yourself.
This happened to me a
few years ago when I was speaking at a conference. My topic was on breaking
down barriers that separate God's people. It was not in my notes, but it came
out like this, "Don't wait for something to happen. Be intentional".
It was quoted by the rest of the speakers - Be intentional about what God is
calling you and His church to do.
That thought has been
on my mind. It raises a serious question: How much Godly intentionality is
there in my life, family, or church? May we be like the psalmist who asked God
to: Open my eyes to see wonderful things in your Word. I am but a
pilgrim here on earth: how I need a map—and your commands are my chart and
guide. I long for your instructions more than I can tell. - Psalm
119:18-20
I invite you to join
me on this "intentional" discovery journey. Let's find what we're
called to and put a smile on God's face. Amen?
