Live life intentionally
intending to do something= plan, wish, goal
living intentionally with direction= done on purpose
Phillipians 3:15-17
Al of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. Only let us live up to what we have already attained. Jointogether in following my example, brothers and sisters, and just as you have us as a model, keep your eyes on those who live as we do.
1. purpose over popularity
(use or abuse)
C.S. Lewis book, the screw tape letters- read it!
2. surrender over control
Proverbs 3:6
in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
3. important over urgent
the story of Mary and Martha- Martha was staying busy in the kitchen, irritated because Mary was sitting and listening to Jesus. she chose something that was urgent to her over the importance of taking the time to just be there with the Lord.
(i literally just touched on this story - read about it in different context- in the "Crazy Busy" book. see my blog post overview of the book posted on 1/24/2020)
In general, the way a child views their father/dad is the way they view God.
What are we showing them about God?
