Passion- a strong and barely controllable emotion
Passion can be a very dangerous thing.
If pointed in the wrong direction it can and will be a very destructive force.
2 Samuel 11 tells the story of someone with uncontrolled passion and desire.
David saw a beautiful woman and his passion drove him to bring her into his palace and sleep with her.
But she was married to one of David’s closest friends.
Uriah had stood by David in the wilderness while Saul hunted him.
He was one of David closest people.
Even with all of this, when Bathsheba became pregnant David had Uriah killed!
David’s passion drove him to do things he didn’t think he was capable of.
Our passion are our biggest strength and our greatest weakness.
We follow them to some pretty dark places sometimes.
We can allow our passions to shape us, but they are not in control.
We are.
Our passions are placed inside us by God for His purposes.
When we submit to God and allow our passions to be used the way God intended, we can set the world on fire!
There is another side to David’s passion I believe we need to explore.
What happens when David surrenders his passion back to God?
David’s passion drew the eyes and heart of God.
He pursued God in the midst of his pain.
God blessed him with another son with the same woman.
His name was Solomon.
All through Scripture God is drawn to passion.
As misguided as it may be.
Noah was passionate about saving him and his family, Abraham was passionate about fulfilling God’s promise, Isaac was passionate about digging wells, Jacob was passionate about getting ahead and staying alive, Jospeh was passionate about God’s promise to him, David was passionate about conquering, Peter was passionate about protecting his neck and rep, Paul was originally passionate about destroying the church and John was just passionate about everything.
God seems to want to use passionate people.
Not skilled or gifted or talented or attractive.
But those who are willing to go after something and do whatever it takes to get it.
God, it seems, would rather steer passion than motivate talent.
