GRAND RISING!
Numbers 23:24, KJV
"Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain."
When you're zealous, it shows how you enthusiastically draw to meet tasks. Those who are reluctant, displaying sluggishness lack energy or initiative. They may even be of the number being forced to get the job done. However, if the dew of youth is well settled on you and you're well motivated, you move and your moving or rising could only be called a grand rising. A rising that's geared towards the purpose. A rising that's aiming for the head of Goliath. A rising of vision - with heart and gaze towards accomplishment.
The Bible says in today's reading, "behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion..." What does that suggest to you? What imagery is being painted there? It's that of one full of energy, passion, ready to meet his daily works. That's a goal-getter in there.
It's my prayer that we won't lack in zeal. Rather we'll be fervent in spirit.
Romans 12:11, KJV
"Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord"
When you have zeal, you're propelled naturally. People would wonder what drives you but only you will know. It'll be the goals that must not slide until you've taken them down.
A lion rises majestically and when it does, it is towards a goal. It is to hunt and eat the prey. It rouses itself up. It stirs itself up to work. Even if all is depressing around you, God is saying, encourage yourself. Great people who keep at it are those who can self encourage themselves even when all has collapsed around them.
Speaking of David, after he had exchanged words with Goliath, the Bible recognized he didn't delay. When Goliath rises to meet him, he immediately rushes to meet him also. Ensure you too give it what it takes. You must not be a sloth - dragging your body, dragging yourself. You must lift yourself up!
I Samuel 17:48, KJV
"And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came, and drew nigh to meet David, that David hastened, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine."
Did you see that? David hastened and ran towards the army to meet the Philistine. The opportunity David recognized God has provided for him in striking down Goliath is to be taken now and David isn't indifferent about it. His drawing towards the battle to meet Goliath reveals his readiness, faith and zeal. As you go about your businesses today, don't be lacking in zeal. Draw near to/against all projects that look mammoth and gigantic in faith. God has given them into your hands. When you believe, you don't act in doubt, rather you're spurred in faith. This leads to rising up as a great lion. Such grand rising is a product of faith that exhume confidence.
Today, yours is a grand rising propelled by faith.
PRAYER/CONFESSION: I am active and zealous. I am fervent and internally propelled. I do not succumb to discouragement or self pity. I rise as a lion to attack my objectives and I achieve them.
BIBLE IN A YEAR:
II Thess.1, Isaiah 11-13
