Good Morning!
Therefore see that you walk carefully [living life with honor, purpose, and courage; shunning those who tolerate and enable evil], not as the unwise, but as wise [sensible, intelligent, discerning people], making the very most of your time [on earth, recognizing and taking advantage of each opportunity and using it with wisdom and diligence], because the days are [filled with] evil. -Ephesians 5:15-16
Intentionality and consistency are some of the strongest attributes we can have as Christians. Consistent intentionality is making the most of both. Often we think of routine and think that is what consistency means, but that is not the case. Consistency means not varying a lot in how you do things, being a consistent leader means people know what to expect from you and that creates trust. Intentionality means we don’t go through life on cruise control but we need to be intentional with our time, with our conversations, with our skills, and with our relationships. Too often when we get overwhelmed it is easy to lose that intentionality because we go into self-preservation mode. God desires us to be intentional and will give us the tools to do so if we focus on Him. The enemy (evil) is very intentional and diligent with his time, the way we combat that is focusing on God, not letting the enemy get a foothold, and make the most of our time as the verse above states. What can you do today, with intentionality, for good?

“The busier you are, the more intentional you must be.” -Michael Hyatt
