Wisdom For Destiny Daily Devotional *(29th April, 2024)*

TOPIC: Are You Passionate About What You Do?

Nehemiah 6:3
[3] So I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and go down to you?”

*Message*

Nehemiah discovered God's purpose for him - to rebuild Jerusalem - and he set out to do the great work. Along the lines, we discovered that Nehemiah was passionate about the work and wasn't just into it for any mischievous intent - such as making a name for himself, etc.

We know how passionate the man was when he was faced with severe opposition that gave him reasonable reasons to quit. You see, it is not enough to jump off with zeal. You must be passionate about what you do because you will always be faced with opposition if you do anything reasonable in life.

*Passion is the starting point for all reasonable achievements recorded in different pages of human history. There has never been anyone (and there will never be anyone) who achieved anything of value without being passionate about it. This is important because the pathway to success is filled with all manner of challenges and disappointments.*

If you don't have the right mindset, dreams can die and be neglected forever. A lot of people went to their graves without fulfilling their dreams and destinies, as they lacked the right measure of passion to fuel them. But because Nehemiah was so passionate about rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem, when his enemies tried making him quit, he told them "I am doing a great work (whether you admit it or not), and I cannot come down."

*Prayers*
Ask the LORD to help you increase in passion for whatever you are doing.
