Do you live your passion for God through your daily assignments? (127-5)

All leaders will eventually serve the area that has their passion no matter what their job. Read Psalm 63:1-11.

Psalm 63 expresses the passion that energized David’s life. David’s job was being the king of Israel. His passion was serving God. He thirsted for God. He remembered God in the daytime and at night, and his thoughts constantly returned to God’s love and care. David’s passion was often demonstrated in his job and that is why David accomplished an astonishing amount in his four decades as ruler in Israel and is held up as a great leader in God’s book.

A leader’s passion determines where they dedicate their life yet few leaders can articulate a clear purpose statement for their life that falls into their area of passion. Virtually every young person that leaves school begins by seeking a job rather than identifying their area of passion and only seeking a job where they can apply their passion. How many leaders are serving today in a job for which they have no passion? Most leaders put more time and effort into planning an extended vacation than they do thinking about the destiny of their earthly journey.

God has a unique purpose for every leader that relates to their distinctive temperament, ability, experience, spiritual gifting, education, and sphere of influence. King David provides an example of how a passion for God can be lived out through an earthly assignment. Leaders should develop an eternal perspective so their passion drives them to spend their lives for things that God say will endure. It seems only logical that a leader who professes to be a Christian would have passion for Christ that spills out into their leadership.

Ephesians 6:7, “Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men.”
