Intentional Life – Devotional for Monday, April 11, 2011

Is your life on autopilot? You know how it is. We slip into patterns. We wake up at certain times. Go to work. Come home. Camp out in front of the TV. Bed. Then we do it all again. We miss much when we live on autopilot. We are so used to our routine that we can miss the unique things going on around us each day. We can miss the needs of those around us. We can miss the beauty of God’s world. We can miss His involvement in our lives. 
We also can stagnate. If we are in a routine we’re probably not growing. Each day we should know a little more about God. We should have a bit more trust in Him. We should be a bit less worldly and a bit more heavenly minded. Instead, if we are on autopilot, we probably have not experience real change in years.
Consider. Where is your spiritual life now, compared with a week, month or year ago?
Commit to some intentionality in your life starting tomorrow. Spend some time in scripture before you start your day, it that’s not part of your current routine. Listen to Christian music on your way to work if you normally have the news on.
You get the idea. Take your life off of autopilot and acknowledge the God Pilot of your life. Let Him change you and be blessed.
Nick
