BE INTENTIONAL

Audio Version

Devotional Text

Ephesians 5:15-16 KJV– “See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil”

Success is never accidental—it requires intentionality and focus. Our scriptural text challenges us to approach life with purpose and wisdom, living thoughtfully and making deliberate choices that please God. To walk “circumspectly” means to live with care and precision, paying attention to our steps and aligning them with God’s plans.

In a world full of distractions and fleeting pursuits, being intentional is crucial. The times we live in demand more than passive effort; it calls for vigilance and discernment. Opportunities that make lasting impact are abundant, but so are the challenges and distractions that can lead us astray. Intentional living causes us to reject aimless routines and embrace a purposeful life, grounded in the Word, meaningful partnerships, and a commitment to advance God’s kingdom.

Every day is a gift filled with potential to reflect the light of God in you and make impact. Use your time wisely—plan, prioritize, and pursue what truly matters. Take time to ask yourself: Am I aligning my daily decisions with God’s will? Am I maximizing the opportunities He places before me? When you live intentionally, you not only become attuned with the will of God, but you also equip yourself to accomplish all He has prepared for you.

Choose to walk deliberately today, trusting that each intentional step you take brings you closer to fulfilling God’s purpose for your life. Glory to God!
