God is looking for people to have zeal for His honor. Zeal is defined as enthusiastic diligence. We can get so enthusiastic in the modern church for everything but diligence when it comes to God. To studying His Word. To upholding His principles and precepts. To a regimen of prayer and fasting. To authentic praise and worship in spirit and truth. Instead we get enthusiastic about the next secular based leadership conference we can attend. We get enthusiastic about the next Christmas Contata we can star in. God wants our enthusiastic diligence when it comes to His honor! God is always willing to forgive but not when we walk through the congregation with the Midianite woman He forbids. Not when we are brash about our disobedience instead of being zealous for His honor. We need the spirit of Phinehas in the church today. To pick up the spear of the truth and drive it through the apostasy that is leading the people of God away from Him.
