Ephesians 5:17 NIV — Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.

As we move toward Christmas, we all begin to have full schedules. If you are like me you may often feel like a circus clown juggling plates while riding a unicycle. The clown is often off balance and more often than not a plate gets dropped. As we have been talking about being intentional about our time, I realize I want to do better this holiday season. I vow to lay down some of the plates I am juggling this year and intentionally serve only the best on the plates I carry!

As I start each morning with devotion I will turn to the above scripture to be sure I am following God’s will. I will allow God to guide my intentions for each day as we close out 2023. I challenge you to do the same. May we be ever present in the moments of each day so that our actions reflect our intentions. Ultimately our overall intention is to be the best reflection of Christ we can be. 

Let’s pray. Dear God, as I spend time with You each morning, show me Your will. Each day may I live up to the potential You have for me. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

Interesting fact about my birth — When my mom called my dad and told him it was time to go to the hospital, dad rushed out and left his sermon laying on the pulpit.
