Sunday Inspiration: Don’t Lose Your Passion

Welcome to “Sunday Inspiration,” a bi-weekly devotional for those seeking spiritual encouragement in the pursuit of their passions. Each post comes from an outside resource (as referenced). I hope these posts will inspire and motivate you in your life and career in addition to our weekly original blog posts. Enjoy!

“He never lost sight of where he was headed.” Heb 12:2 TM

Concerning Jesus, the Bible says: “Because he never lost sight of where he was headed…he could put up with anything along the way: cross, shame, whatever…When you find yourselves flagging in your faith, go over that story again” (vv. 2-3 TM).

It’s your vision that fuels your passion.

Ever notice how God often transforms the worst of sinners into His greatest servants? That’s because they’re passionate, and once that passion is harnessed and redirected they become effective in His kingdom.

Now you understand why the Enemy has tried so hard to destroy you. He knows once you line up your passion with God’s plan, there will be no stopping you.

Passion is spiritual energy; without it you’re as limp as a wet noodle and as bland as hospital food.

So instead of trying to stifle your passion, let God redirect it.

Jesus told the end-age church, “You are neither hot nor cold. I wish that you were one or the other!” (Rev 3:15 NLT). Who is He speaking to? Professing Christians who live, marry, have children, buy cars, accumulate stocks, and do all the things their modern-day counterparts do, but without passion. They were simply going through the motions!

The Bible says, “Taste and see” (Ps 34:8); in other words, step up to the plate and swing the bat! So what if you miss? The fact is you’ll miss for sure if you don’t swing!

Your instinct for self-preservation can rob you of the only chance you may ever get at life.

So if you’re down today, get back up. If you failed, try again. Ask God to rekindle the fires of passion within you.
