MISDIRECTED ZEAL
Today's reading: Romans 9-10
"Dear brothers and sisters, the longing of my heart and my prayer to God is that the Jewish people might be saved. I know what enthusiasm they have for God, but it is misdirected zeal." Romans 10:1-2 NLT
I personally do not know a lot of Jewish people.
To be quite honest, I could probably count on both hands the acquaintances I have that have Abrahamic lineage.
But I do know some folks needing saved that have misdirected zeal!
People who would be powerhouses for the Lord--if they were on His side.
Folks who have a stockpile of talents--that could be used mightily in God's kingdom.
Individuals who are absolute pleasures to be around--but are destined for the pits of hell without their turning to the Lord.
This morning, in regards to those I know who need the Lord, I'm praying that God re-directs their zeal. I'm asking that God orchestrate and manipulate the orbits of the universe to put these folks in positions in which they are called up on to speak His name.
They have the enthusiasm. They have the talents. They have the hearts. They don't YET have the Savior.
