A lot of us are ambitious. There are things we seek to do and to accomplish in life. There are areas where we strive to be successful and we put our everything into making sure we achieve and accomplish the goals that have been set before us so that we can experience that success. When you are ambitious, you have a determination, a hunger, and a zeal to do whatever it takes to get what it is you want.
The questions is, are you being ambitious when it comes to the things of God? Do you have the zeal to get up in the morning and pray. When you have zeal, you have energy and enthusiasm to pursue something. Are you hungry for the Word of God? Are you determined to pursue God with all that is within you?
We are quick to pursue careers and we have a determination when it comes to getting a new home or a new car but do we have the same fire and determination when it comes to learning more about our Heavenly Father and doing what He has called us to do? If not, its time for a shift. It’s time to shift our focus from the things we want to the Giver of all things. It’s time to live determined for God. Determined to walk in obedience. Determined to pray fervently. Determined to see His Word and His will accomplished in our lives.
