We lived in New Orleans, LA (NOLA for short) for eleven years and the standing joke there was to say, “I think we had winter on Thursday last year.”  I used to say I could be a weather man in NOLA- “Hot and humid with showers at 3:00 pm.  My five day forecast would simply be "ditto, ditto, ditto, and ditto!" They say in San Diego it is usually a mild 72 degrees on most days. Wow! I could get into that.  However, in my beloved Texas, we can have sunny skies at 7 am, tornado warnings at noon, and a blizzard at 6 pm. The old saying in Texas is, “If you don’t like the weather, wait an hour and it will change.”   What is the relevance of this? 

Spiritual Passion

While weather is fickle and can go any which way in Texas, our spiritual passion for the Lord should not be that way!  In fact, the Lord once said, “I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot, I would that you were cold or hot. So since you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.” Revelation 3: 15-16.   The Lord is not pleased with a tepid commitment to Him, and actually I He does not want anyone to be spiritually cold, rather He wants us to be white HOT for Him!

The Lord is definitely not fickle about that!!  So I ask, What is your level of spiritual passion these days and what do you need to do to make it white Hot for the Lord?
