DDD: When Your Zeal For God Is Aimed The Wrong Way

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today Have you ever been on fire for God, only to realize later your passion was pointed in the wrong direction? In Romans 10, Paul warns about a zeal for God “not in accordance with knowledge,” and on the road to Emmaus we meet two disciples who loved Jesus, walked with Jesus, even talked about Jesus—yet didn’t recognize that the risen Christ was right there with them. In this devotional, we’ll ask: Is your heart burning, but your eyes still closed? Learn how to recognize Jesus walking with you into the public square, let Scripture correct your direction, and let a holy zeal from God’s word propel you to bold, faithful action in Washington State and beyond. Pastor Brian Noble in this devotional reflects on Romans 10:1–3 and Luke 24’s road to Emmaus to contrast misplaced zeal with zeal rooted in God’s word. It emphasizes recognizing Christ’s presence in everyday life and in the public square, allowing Scripture to ignite a holy passion that leads to obedient, courageous action for biblical values. We are transforming our hearts so we can shape the public square.
