What's your passion?

“Now this I know: The Lord gives victory to his anointed. He answers him from his heavenly sanctuary with the victorious power of his right hand. Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.”

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭20:6-8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Have you ever made a dream board? I added one above so you could have a visual of what one looks like.  They're effective in motivating people to continue working to build their success so someday they will be able to afford the things they're passionate for.   I once got together with a group of business partners to make our personal dream boards.  It’s effective to visually have a picture in your mind of what you're passionate for so it gives you a reason to wake up in the morning and go to work.  I understand this because I thought those "passions", once materialized, would bring happiness and fulfillment to my own life.  I found I was right….but temporarily.  Those who trust in things apart from God, “Are brought to their knees and fall”, according to the psalmist (Psalm 20:8).

We were made for God and nothing else will do—a truth we validate in our experiences every day.  We buy this or that because we think "things" will make us happy, but like a child receiving a dozen Christmas presents or more, we ask ourselves, “Is this all?”  Something is always missing.

Nothing this world has to offer—even very good things—fully satisfies us.  There is a measure of enjoyment in them, but our happiness soon fades away, (1 John 2:17).  Indeed, “God cannot give us happiness and peace apart from Himself “

CS Lewis concluded.  “There is no such thing.”
