On this day the Lord has made . . .

As I was driving home from the grocery store I heard a man on the radio ask what we were leaving our children/grandchildren. He mentioned how he would choose, over any amount of money, the writings from his grandfather . . . if he had left any.

So, I have determined to create a diary/journal of what happened to me on this day(s) the Lord has granted me.

Intentional

Helpcontinue our eDevo ministry with your gift today

(And for this we labor and strive), that we have put our hope in the living God. 1 Timothy 4:10 NIV

Retarget YourselfWe work hard for a lot of things. Some are worthy of our efforts--others, not so much.

There's also no doubt that what we give ourselves to achieve mentally and physically is also important to us, or at least a high priority. Productive employees understand this all too well.

Yet do we "labor and strive" for our very hope and faith in God?

Your relationship with God is not to be based on works; but, is there a way you can retarget everything you do so that it feeds and nourishes your faith? If you do, not only will your intimacy with God bloom, but God will work through you to help others more effectively place their hope in Him.

Increase your Christian productivity by.
  1. Writing down your top five weekly responsibilities.
  2. Each day, take one of them to God in prayer and ask Him to speak to you about it.
Today's One Thing
Read 1 Timothy 4:9-16. Apply it to your life.

This is something I so need to do. Live Intentionally. When I saw this email it was like a lightbulb went off over my head. It seems that all I do is rush through life.

Prayer List

  • Thank you Father thank you.

  • O Merciful God, who hast made all men, and hatest nothing that thou hast made, nor desirest the death of a sinner, but rather that he should be converted and live; Have mercy upon all who know thee not as thou are revealed in the Gospel of thy Son. Take from them all ignorance, hardness of heart, and contempt of thy Word; and so fetch them home, blessed Lord to thy fold, that they may be one flock under one shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.

Give me the words, and your wisdom, and please don't let me cause anyone to stumble.
