I think about how many of us are passionate about our favorite ball team. We will sit out in the cold, wet weather for several hours just to watch them play. Yet, if we had to sit out in weather like that to hear the Word of God, how many of us would be in the bleachers?
Have you ever been passionate about Jesus? Is He important enough to your life that you can’t keep still about what He has done for you? I must confess that my passion for Jesus isn’t what it should be.
In order to be passionate about God, we have to follow Him. In order
to follow Him, we must learn about Him. We must be with other believers
who will encourage us and us, them. A passion is caught more than
taught. Have you ever been around someone who is so excited about
something, you are caught up in their excitement and the first thing you
know, you become passionate about the same thing?
Do people know you because of your passions? How does your passion for your Savior compare to your passion for your favorite football team or for your hobby such as fishing, hunting, golf, shopping, etc. If we are passionate about something or someone, we will share our passion with anyone who will listen. If your passions are honorable, they have come from God. God wants us to enjoy our life here on earth; to be passionate about the things we enjoy. But, He also gave us passion in our lives so we can become passionate about Him to the point we will share Him with others everywhere we go.
In order to be passionate about God, we have to follow Him. In order to follow Him, we must learn about Him. We must be in His word and fellow shipping with other believers who will encourage us and us, them. A passion is caught more than tauht. Have you ever been around someone who is so excited about something, you are caught up in their excitement and the first thing you know, you become passionate about the same thing?
Will people become passionate about the God who saved you because they see the passion you have for Him.?
Will your passion in this life matter in eternity?
Think about it……………..
“Walking along the beach of Lake Galilee, Jesus saw two brothers: Simon (later called Peter) and Andrew. They were fishing, throwing their nets into the lake. It was their regular work. Jesus said to them, “Come with me. I’ll make a new kind of fisherman out of you. I’ll show you how to catch men and women instead of perch and bass.” They didn’t ask questions, but simply dropped their nets and followed.” Matthew 4:18-20 The Message
