Start With God Devotional - Be Passionate It Nehemiah was passionate about rebuilding Jerusalems walls. So when his enemies tried to side-track and discourage him, he answered, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down. Neh 6:3. Passion is the starting point for all achievement. There has never been anyone who achieved anything of value, who wasnt passionate about it. Its the energy that fuels your dream. The road to success is cluttered with detours, problems, and disappointments. And if you dont have the right mind-set, your dreams can die there. Indeed, there are days when the needle on your passion meter will be on empty. On those days you need to remember that God gave you your dream to begin with; go back to Him and ask for the strength to keep moving towards it. The Psalmist wrote, For You will light my lamp; the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness. For by You I can run against a troop, by my God I can leap over a wall (Psalm 18:28-29 NKJV). Who gives you the power to run and leap? God! But you cant sit back, fold your arms and think that He will do it all for you. Between your dreams inspiration and its manifestation, theres going to be a lot of perspiration. As every new parent finds out, its much harder having and raising a baby than it is conceiving one. But if you have the passion for your dream, the price tag wont stop you. Youll get up every morning, draw on Gods grace and take one more step in the direction of the thing you know God put you on this earth to do. Soul food: Jonah 1:10-2:10; Matt 12:38-42
