Jack Hibbs (November-28-2022) Weekly Devotional: A VISION AND A PASSION.

Exodus 3:2 - “And the Angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed.”

There are some things in life you can only read about. The scripture above is one of them. A bush was ablaze with flames all around, yet not consumed. Our imaginations can scarcely conceive such a fantastic yet terrifying sight. But Moses was undeterred and discovered it was the glory of the Lord burning bright. God spoke to him there, and passion was ignited.

The English explorer, Captain Robert Scott, also had a vision turn to passion, which led him to distant Antarctica. It was said of Captain Scott that “He was a strange mixture of the dreamy and the practical and never more practical than immediately after he had been dreamy.” 

When we get alone with God, it often results in times of revelation and vision. 

Through vision and passion, these two discoverers, Moses and Scott, became leaders—having experienced something beyond themselves. Moses spoke with eternity when he talked with God. And Scott peered beyond the horizon, wondering if there was something further still. There’s a good lesson here for us. When we get alone with God, it often results in times of revelation and vision. Those encounters with the living God will lead us into the world with practical effects—the lost are found, the sick comforted, and the orphan rescued. 

Each of us has a world to reach for Christ in practical ways. But we will never get to that place unless we risk being a “little dreamy.” Only then will we venture out, trusting God to lead us to new places. 

My prayer for you and me is that we’ll grasp God’s vision and venture out with passion where He leads and see what happens.

Joyce Meyer (January-10-2023) Daily Devotional: Embrace Your Passion and Give It Your All

Every believer is called to talk to God and listen to His voice through prayer, but not everyone is called into the spiritual office of an intercessor. For example, I believe God has called Dave as an intercessor for America. He seems to have an "official" assignment from the Lord to pray for our country, a true burden for national issues and affairs, a longing to see revival in our land, and a deep, sustained interest in the things that concern the United States. He diligently studies American history and stays informed about what is going on in the government of our country. There is also an unusual fervor that accompanies his prayers. That's what I mean by a person who functions in the office of an intercessor.

Since 1997, I have watched Dave pray and cry and bombard heaven on behalf of the United States. I do not weep over our nation the way he does, but that does not mean I do not care or that I do not pray for our leaders. It simply means that I cannot force myself to have Dave's passion, because that passion is God-given. It also means that God is using Dave and me as a team; He has Dave playing one position and me playing another one. If I start to wonder what is wrong with me because I do not intercede the way Dave does, I end up under condemnation— and that will keep me from fulfilling what God has called me to do. But, if I stay confident in my position and focus on being excellent in it, our team wins every time. God does not assign everything to everyone. The Holy Spirit divides things up the way He sees fit and all we need to do is our part.

Prayer Starter: Father, direct me in the way I should go and give me whatever it takes to go the extra mile. In Jesus’ name, amen!
