Key Bible Verse: "Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established."  
— Proverbs 16:3

Affirmation: "I commit my intentions to the Lord, and He establishes my path."

Series Title: The Power of Intention. Part 6

The Sure Word for Today

Your intentions are powerful, but without deliberate actions, they remain unrealised potential. When you take intentional steps, you align your actions with your purpose, leading to meaningful outcomes. The story of Daniel is a powerful example of this in the Bible. Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the king's food, and he acted by requesting a different diet. His intentional decision not only honoured God but also resulted in favour and wisdom. Daniel's life demonstrates how intentional actions, rooted in faith, can lead to divine blessings.

Intentional actions are transformative because they are purposeful and focused. When Daniel decided to pray three times a day despite the decree against it, his deliberate actions brought him closer to God and eventually led to his miraculous deliverance from the lion’s den. This shows that when you act with intention, you not only influence your circumstances but also inspire others. Your actions can become a testimony of faith and determination, impacting those around you and fulfilling God's purpose in your life.

The Bible is filled with examples of individuals whose intentional actions led to profound outcomes. From David’s decision to face Goliath with a simple sling to Esther’s courage in approaching the king, their actions were driven by clear intentions and trust in God. Like them, when you align your actions with your intentions and God’s will, you set in motion events that lead to significant and lasting results. Your intentional actions, no matter how small, have the potential to create a ripple effect of blessings and positive change.

James 2:17 reminds us that “faith without works is dead.” It’s not enough to have good intentions; you must back them with purposeful actions. Doing so brings your intentions to life.

Reflection And Application

Consider what actions you can take today to align with your intentions. Reflect on how even small, deliberate steps can make a big difference in your life and the lives of those around you.
