More Zeal!

Romans 12: 11

Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.

Never be lacking in… “zeal”.

That’s a word you don’t hear very much.

Zeal: A passionate pursuit; eagerness for a cause;

As we begin this season of Advent, what would you say your “zeal” level is?

The thing or things we’re most passionate of, are the thing or things that are proving our zeal.

If that thing or things are not  God’s Kingdom—then something most definitely needs to change.

If we don’t have passion for the things of God, then we need to ask God to help us.

Even if you don’t feel passionate, there’s no reason not to have zeal.

I’m amazed at the doctors who went on purpose to countries, to deal with people who knowingly had Ebola.

Talk about zeal!

Maybe you need to ask God to help you regain strength in the ways you serve Him.

Maybe we need to make this life about God, and not as much as about us.

Ask Him for more zeal if you’re lacking, but then don’t be surprised when He increases your passion for the things of His Kingdom…
