LIVE INTENTIONALLY
By: Chandler Demler
Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.
Romans 13:13-14 NKJV
There are so many things today that have the capability of distracting us and taking our focus off the Lord. It’s easier than ever before for us to be consumed by things like social media, sports, secular music, and just the busyness of life! Some of these things aren’t necessarily bad, but they can become harmful when we fail to put them in the right place. Satan knows that once he gets our focus off the Lord, he can begin to attack us in his creative ways. He wants us to fall back into old habits, addictions, and lifestyles.
Romans 12:2 says, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” That means get in the Word EVERY DAY and begin to allow God to speak to you. Give God the first of your day and put Him at the center of your life and there will be great joy. Begin to regulate how much of "the world" you allow into your life and ask yourself the question: Will this worldly “thing” make me better? Could it be hindering my relationship with Jesus?
Live your life intentionally. Let there be a purpose for everything you partake in!
