When Passions Collide | Devotional | Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.— Proverbs 3:5-6 Eventually, every man comes to a place where he realizes that his passions drive every decision he makes in this life. His passions drive the things he buys, the career he pursues, the people with whom he spends time, and the person he will eventually marry. And at some point, this man will come to discover that his passions focus on one thing — what he wants. What he wants over what anyone else wants. But this will put him at odds with other people. And now, he must choose if he is going to pursue what he wants or what someone else wants. But while this question may bring pause to his passions for a moment and force him to recognize another's passions, it's not the biggest contest of passions that a man will encounter. The greatest contest is when a man discovers that his passions are in contest with God's passions. And this is a no-win situation because God's passions win every time. Thus we meet with the truth that Solomon is trying to teach his son here. This is what he is saying to his son: Son, your passions are wild. They wildly consume you. So much so that they will convince you to lean on your own understanding. Every day you will encounter moments where you will justify your course of action because of your passions. At this moment, son, do not trust your passions or lean on your understanding. Instead, trust in the Lord. Set your passions aside. Confess them to God. And then let his passion consume your passion. As you acknowledge him this way, God will give you success. And here is what is so cool, when his passions become your passions, you function at your best. You function the way God designed you to function and thus, he makes the way for you. Gentlemen. What passion do you need to give to God today? What passion does he need to consume? Give it to him. And if you dare, share it in the comments below. May your comment become a small sacrifice to a God. He wants to renew your passions, give you a new understanding, and make a new way for you. ASK THIS: What passion do you need to give to God today? DO THIS: Confess it below and sacrifice it to God. PRAY THIS: God, take my selfish passions and give me new ones fully aligned with your will.
