“Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny.” Stephen Covey’s profound axiom about human nature describes the importance of our thought life. Put another way, intent precedes content. The content of one’s life is the result of the intent of their thoughts. What you think about matters. What you think about a lot matters a lot. And what you are dedicated to with will define you. This is the power of intent. For the Christian there is nothing keeping us from making the intent of our lives God’s pleasure.
