Numbers 32&33;Mark 10

So, yesterday soft and last nite frustrated...this morning.....passionate and yet yielding....that's not usually connected....
Before...
passion was connected to UNYIELDING...about what I needed to protect (myself) ???
and now PASSION is about YOU and BEING protected.....

Numbers 32:11 They weren't interested in following me, their hearts weren't in it......
So, that was / is me.....and You...You're ALWAYS after our hearts...same now and forever, after our hearts.

And when a passion is God-ordained.....I am protected......
Gonna keep reading this: Lion Chaser Manifesto

Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. Grab life by the mane. Set God-sized goals. Pursue God-ordained passions. Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention. Keep asking questions. Keep making mistakes. Keep seeking God. Stop pointing out problems and become part of the solution. Stop repeating the past and start creating the future. Stop playing it safe and start taking risks. Expand your horizons. Accumulate experiences. Consider the lilies. Enjoy the journey. Find every excuse you can to celebrate everything you can. Live like today is the first day and last day of your life. Don't let what's wrong with you keep you from worshipping what's right with God. Burn sinful bridges. Blaze a new trail. Criticize by creating. Worry less about what people think and more about what God thinks. Don't try to be who you're not. Be yourself. Laugh at yourself. Quit holding out. Quit holding back. Quit running away.Chase the lion/ Mark Batterson
