—Romans 12:9-13
by: Angie Osborn.
According to the dictionary, zeal means enthusiastic devotion to a person or cause. Fervor means to have passion or intensity of emotion. So we are to be serving the Lord with enthusiastic devotion and great passion. That sounds kind of exhausting! The beauty of that is that we do not have to do it alone. God works in our hearts and lives to give us the desire to serve him. If we allow him to work through us, we can serve him with joy and patience! As we are faithful in prayer to him, he will be faithful to give us what we need in order to do the work that he has called us to do.
