Entheos

The word “enthusiasm” comes from the Greek word “entheos.” “Theos” is God. When you’re enthusiastic, it simply means you are full of God. When you get up in the morning excited about your future, recognizing that day is a gift and go out with a spring in your step, pursuing your goals and passionate about life, then God will breathe in your direction. Studies even tell us that people who are enthusiastic get better breaks. They’re promoted more often. That’s not a coincidence.

When you’re full of passion, you have the favor of God. Remember, God didn’t breathe His life into us to drag through the day. He didn’t create us in His image, crown us with His favor, and equip us with His power to just go through the motions of life. And I feel especially called to tell you this, God wouldn’t have given you the strength to get you back on your feet so you could just go running back to the same thing or person that knocked you down.

You may have had some setbacks, the wind may have been taken out of your sail, but this is a new day! God wants to breathe new life back into you! When you’re in agreement with God, He will cause the winds of favor to shift in your direction! If you’ll get your passion back, I declare that you will see God do a new and amazing work in your life!
