Passionate About Christ
Have you noticed that people all over the world just love fireworks? I can remember taking my family to a fireworks demonstration in Tokyo, Japan where they released 20,000 fireworks in one hour. There were over a million people watching this display and it was just awe inspiring.
Being among that many people watching such a spectacular fireworks display made me wonder when the last was that I did something for the Lord that really caused fireworks to happen. I wondered when the last time was that I did something so challenging, exciting and so faith-based that it caused my friends to look at me in awe, inspiring them to go serve the Lord in the same way.
As fireworks light up the sky this Fourth of July, let me encourage you to allow the Holy Spirit to burn so brightly within you that it causes your friends, family and church to be on fire for God. Christians are encouraged in Romans 12:11:
“Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.”
No matter what you are facing today keep your passion for Christ alive and serve Him today with all your heart, soul and mind.
