God's Great Passion

It is the passion of a choir director. This is a passion to know God. His heart is like a thirsty deer who longs for water, living water, just like the two disciples whose hearts were burning, and just like the promise Jesus made about rivers of running water. Is this the passion of your heart - to know Him - to love Him and to know Him more than anyone else, more than your mother, father, spouse, friend, daughter or son?

1. What do you think is God’s great desire? What is God’s great passion for you? Would you like a peek into God’s heart - into His emotions? The answer to these questions is found in Jeremiah 9:23-24. What does God desire most for you?

Seeking and Searching. Moses was another man who had a passion to know God. He started life in Egypt as the adopted son of Pharaoh. He was the Prince of Egypt. He fled from Egypt after killing an Egyptian soldier. Later he met God in the Midian desert at the age of 80 years. God had prepared this man with trials and struggles. God worked a miracle in his life, and Numbers 12:3 says that Moses was the most humble man of his time. God called him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. He performed miracle upon miracle. He was the leader of about 6 million people. Many of us would be happy with that. We would have thought that we had arrived when we saw God doing miracles through us, and making us a leader of so many people. But Moses was not satisfied.
