Have you ever wanted more passion in your praying?

One of the best inspirations I’ve ever found to dial up my own passion for the things of the LORD is to see HIS passion at work!!!

Thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘I am zealous for Zion with great zeal; with great fervor I am zealous for her.’ (Zechariah 8:2)

GOD gets excited about things!!! The very language used in this text of the Bible speaks of white hot passion and zeal. The word for zeal literally means “to turn red in the face”. Imagine that…GOD gets so excited about Zion and about the city of Jerusalem that HE gets red in the face talking about it.

This is the same zeal that HE has for us. We hear it in HIS cry for Adam in the Garden of Eden. We hear it when Jesus cries out on the last day of the great feast and asks if any one is thirsty. We hear it in the last great invitation of the Bible in Revelation 22:17, And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.

So…the next time you’re a little low on passion for the things of GOD, ask HIM to give you a download of HIS zeal.
