Have you ever had the intention to do one thing, but then the thing you didn’t want to do or hoped to avoid was the very thing you ended up doing? Maybe you were hoping to eat a full meal but instead were rushing out the door with nothing but stress and empty stomach on your way to school. Maybe you were intending to read your Bible as soon as you woke up, but instead you ended up scrolling on Instagram through the time that was intended to be your quiet time.

We all have the best intentions, but when life happens, we all have a choice. The choices that we make dictate the trajectory of our lives. We have to decide if we want to coast through life or to take control by the Power of the Holy Spirit. Our life moves in the direction of the choices that we make each day and the difference is this: Successful people do consistently what others do occasionally.

If you want to grow as a follower of Jesus the flow of our day starts with making it a habit to be with God before we can do anything for God. Each day you can choose to let your feelings dictate your choices or let the Holy Spirit lead you to the life that God has called you. A life of God’s presence and purpose or to coast through life without choosing HIM. What will you choose?

Prayer: “God, help me choose you and your purpose for my life. As I build new habits, give me the strength and self control to follow through. Lead me to make choices that honor you. Amen.”
