Today’s focus is simple: A new week deserves a clear direction.

Most people spend more time reacting to their week than preparing for it. They wake up Monday hoping things will work out instead of deciding what truly matters.

Proverbs tells us, “Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established” (Proverbs 16:3).

Before your calendar fills up, decide what deserves your attention.
