What are some things that keep you from having that constant passion for the Lord?

Psalm 127:2 (TLB) "It’s senseless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night, fearing that you’re going to starve to death, for God wants His loved ones to get their proper rest."

An Unbalanced Schedule

That means if you are either overworked or under worked you’re going to lose your passion for life and lose your passion for God. Life is a series of seasons, the Bible says. There’s a season for everything. And there’s a rhythm to life. You need both in your life -- both input and output. You need both rest and work. And too much of either will cause you to lose your passion. Too much work will cause you to lose your passion. Too much of nothing—boredom—will cause you to lose your passion too, if you’re not working enough.

Some of you have the problem of always giving out. You’re always helping, you’re always sharing, you’re always serving, you’re always working, you’re always being generous. And you never take time to recharge. If you never take time to recharge you’ve become unbalanced on the ministry side; on the work side, you’re going to eventually get compassion fatigue.

Lord Jesus, this is Dennis, I want to always remember that I do what I do because I’m a funnel through which Your blessings flow. Bless me so that I can give others the blessings you have given me. None of it is mine, it's all about You.
