God is intentional. He is intentional with your birth. He is intentional with your parents. He is intentional in your placement in life. He is intentional with your children. He is intentional with your spouse. He is intentional with your path. He is intentional with your friends. He is intentional with your job. He is intentional with your joy. He is intentional with your pain. He is placing and pushing you into the direction of HIS purpose according to HIS will. You must be born at a certain time, at a certain place with certain parents, for you to have a starting point. He gives you joy so that you can praise His name and to move forward in your purpose. He gives you pain/ struggles to push you to keep going, to stand on faith, to trust HIM, and to hold His hand. He blesses you with little to see if you are faithful over a few things, so He can then put you in charge over many things. He is intentional! He is intentional in your design or makeup. He created you to be strong and enduring. He created you in His image. He is intentional! When things fall apart and people show you who they are, then too, is He intentional. He is answering the prayers to remove the harmful things and people without good intent. Yes, He is not only intentional, He is faithful! When God blows the wind of intentional favor in your direction, yes, that is intentional. When you feel God's shifting harvest in your midst, yes, that is intentional. When you didn't deserve it, yet you got it, yes, that is intentional. When you have the discernment to know there is greater for you and you trust He will bring it to you, again He will be intentional and faithful. When your heart is pure and you have good intent, He is intentional in where He places you and the favor He grants you. When He gives you His word and you believe what He has said; know that His words were intentionally placed to help guide you through this journey we call life. When you know God is intentional these are the things you don't worry about:
Who gave the diagnosis
Who said you can't have
What you don't have right now ( you know it's on the way)
Lack
Debt
Love
Health issues
Money problem
What he/she said
A locked door (you know He can open a door, a roof, and a window)
A friend
A spouse
Family
Who you belong too
Your destiny
God is intentional and faithful. He is omnipresent, He is wherever you are at all times. So, wait on the Lord and know that everything He does and says IS intentional.
I expect God's intentional favor and fruitful promises in my life. God will surround me with every favored person, every anointed person, every covered person, every blessed person who will fulfill His intentionally favored promise in my life.
