What is zeal? Zeal is defined as “great energy or enthusiasm in pursuit of a cause or an objective.” Wow! Does this describe your relationship with God? Can you say you are pushing Jesus with great energy and enthusiasm?
Main Points:
1. “Zeal” is not a word used much in our English vocabulary. We hear another word used much more frequently, the word “passion.” But the word “zeal” or “zealous” is used 36 times in scripture.
2. As we look at scripture, we discover that having zeal for the Lord is a heart issue. It’s not so much about personality or family background as it is the focus and priority of our hearts.
3. If your spiritual tank is leaning towards empty, know there is a gracious God who desires a close relationship with you. He’s waiting. Take a step towards him today and regain your zeal for Jesus.
