LIVING INTENTIONALLY 2010

THE RESOLUTION: In the year 2010, I resolve to live every day more intentionally by:

  • delighting myself in the Lord
  • dialoguing with Him throughout the day
  • doing the things His Spirit impresses me to do.

I can't think of a better way to discover how to live intentionally than by saturating ourselves in the life of Jesus. The book of Matthew is a great blend of His life story, His teachings and His daily activities. Here is a suggested division of the book that will enable us to look at a few verses each day.

This year I will be blogging regularly and I hope you'll join me there to share how it is going for you.

WORKING THE PLAN

The tools below offer five different ways to approach the assigned Scriptures. Take a few minutes to click on each one below and read through it before you begin. Also, be sure to get a special notebook to record your insights, prayers and study notes. (A cheap spiral-bound notebook works great.) After having looked at the tools, take some time to establish a plan, remembering that a plan not fully executed is going to produce more fruit than no plan at all!

Most of the tools below are in a pdf format, which means you need adobe reader to access them. Download it for free here.
