INTENTIONAL- Purposeful Obedience — “Choosing God Over Convenience”

INTENTIONAL-

Purposeful Obedience — “Choosing God Over Convenience”

Scripture~
"If you love me, you will keep   my commands.  ”

‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭15‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Foundational Definition

Intentionality is living, choosing, and responding on purpose—in alignment with God’s will—not by accident, impulse, or convenience, but with a heart submitted to Him, aware that every action, motive, and decision is accountable before the Lord.

Devotional~

Intentionality is not just knowing what God desires—it’s choosing to obey Him on purpose. Purposeful obedience means we don’t wait until obedience feels easy or comfortable.

God often calls us to obey in areas that stretch our pride, test our patience, or require SURRENDER. Intentional believers decide ahead of time that God’s will outweighs their preferences.

Obedience becomes intentional when we stop asking, “Is this hard?” and start asking, “Is this holy?”

Prayer~

Lord, strengthen my obedience. Help me to choose You even when it costs me something. I desire to please You above all else.

In Jesus’ Name,

Amen

Reflection~

What has convenience been costing me spiritually?
