Today’s word of encouragement is restoring the enthusiasm inside us. Enthusiasm is one area in our lives that the enemy will try and rob us from having.
Being enthusiastic is not just about the things that we do, our work, our lives, and the people in our lives. When I think about enthusiasm I picture it as fuel and energy to a person’s passion, interest, and calling in life.
Imagine, what would the enemy rather have, a Christian who is full of enthusiasm over what he or she does? Or a Christian who is half hearted and lukewarm. “Wishy-washy” is the best word that describes a person lacking of enthusiasm. Wishy-washy is a person who is weak, indecisive, spineless, spiritless, and ineffectual. Therefore it is vital that we are aware of how the enemy operates, and how he will steal our enthusiasm.
Today, our Father wants to restore enthusiasm in our lives, to give us an increase of energy; He wants to fuel us with more, passion, and interest in our calling in life. Yes, our work may seem mundane, our life may seem lifeless at times, but don’t quit, don’t give up!!
Enthusiasm is the secret to fighting the devil, especially when we feel discouraged, small, incapable, weak, not good enough, and useless. The words of discouragement just seem to keep going and going and going. Today we have a choice to continue letting the enemy rob us of our enthusiasm, or we can be restored by our Father.
Psalm 80:19 Restore us, O LORD God Almighty; make your face shine upon us, that we may be saved.
