Romans 12:11-12
Do not grow slack in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord.
Do not grow slack in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord.
Rejoice in hope, endure in
affliction, persevere in prayer.
-Romans 12:11-12
I
think that many of us go through periods of spiritual highs and lows, where we
can feel very zealous and close to God, but then through time of feeling far
and disconnected from Him. Looking at the definition for zeal can help to open
up this verse.
Zeal:
Noun
1. Great energy or
enthusiasm in pursuit of a cause or an objective
We
are called to serve the Lord and not grow slack in our enthusiasm for serving
Him. That is my prayer for today, that He would make my heart be on fire for
Him and be zealous about following his word.
Thank you for your encouragement and honesty. Great reminder as I think all of us
ReplyDeleteneed to pray to keep the fire on the altar burning. I too want a fervent love and zeal for HIM.
Oh, Precious Girl! What a wonderful message you have posted. It is very true we are called to be trust and follow Him. And, doing so with zeal makes it that much easier, enjoyable, and fulfilling. Thank you, Kelsey!
