Next Time: Be Intentional

Next time. How often do you hear people say, ‘We will do it next time, or we will get it next time’? ‘Next time’ will continue to be the same unless you intentionally make plans to do something differently. God gives each of us 24 hours every day to accomplish His plans and purposes in the earth. What we do with those hours determines our ‘Next time‘.

If all of your ‘Next time (s)’ are the same as your last, it’s time to make some changes. Stop playing the same song and find something new. If you want something you have never had, you must do something you have never done. Instead of saying next time, do some research on how to accomplish your goal. It should be obvious that whatever you are doing is not working. There needs to be a shift in your mindset. Create a plan, set some goals, and ask the Holy Spirit, your supernatural strategist, how to proceed. He has the answers you need. Proverbs 10:4 tells us, “Poor is he who works with a negligent and idle hand, but the hand of the diligent makes him rich.” Do the work that is needed to have a different outcome. Plans fail because people fail to make good plans.
