The Purpose
Of Intentionality

What is INTENTION?

Intention is the key to achieve a goal by strictly following a plan with purpose, constantly looking at the objective, and continually aiming at it with the expressed desire to be faithful to achieve it. Staying on track to do this requires a dogged determination to push aside pressures and distractions that may prevent you from success.

Today’s Bible verse is about Daniel, a young Jewish boy who was taken into captivity when the Babylonians conquered the ancient Kingdom of Judah and brought their captives back to Babylon as slaves. Once there they were forced to change their names, customs and language and were required to worship the king and practice the Babylonian’s religion. To not do so was subject to death, but Daniel refused to worship a false god and with faithful intent boldly prayed out his window each day facing Jerusalem to the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob.

You see, Daniel knew what his priorities were and despite the consequences “Purposed in His Heart” to be faithful to God. For even non-Bible readers, all are familiar with the account of him being “Thrown Into The Lion’s Den” but because of his faithfulness and focused intent to do what he knew was right, he triumphantly came through.

Friend, while intentionality about things in our day-to-day life is good, it is even more important to be intentional about having an Intentional Relationship To God. Nothing in this life is guaranteed so when opposition and obstacles come and you are 'Thrown into a Lion’s Den' because of your faithfulness and intentionality you too - intentional with God by your side - will also emerge unharmed.
