Motherhood: Is There Not a Cause? (Part 1/6)

God is no respecter of persons- if He will bless me, He will bless you. But, He is most certainly a respecter of faith. If there’s one thing I’ve done all my life, it’s to never get lax about what I’ve wanted. I learned from a very, very young age that passion for anything is vital to success.

I think King David is a good example of how being passionate about your cause can change the course of your life. David asked a simple question to those who were around him in 1 Samuel 17:29 [“Now what have I done? said David. “Can’t I even speak?] He was young and had gone out to bring food to his brothers when they were dealing with Goliath and the Philistine army.

They didn’t approve of him being there and taunted him that he just came to see the battle. I love David’s response because it was simple and true. He said, “Is there not a cause?” 

Even though David was just a teenager, he understood what to do in a difficult situation. He knew Goliath had defied the nation of Israel. In his mind, King Saul and the army of Israel had lost their passion and forgotten their cause.

Many people today who do not achieve their goals have that same problem. If you want success in life, you must stay passionate and remember the cause. It’s called “stay the course!” Protect this principle at all costs.

What made David a great king was his passion to believe God. And from that passion, he became a doer, and that prepared a pathway for his future life as king. He slew that giant with faith and one small stone…and everyone saw it.
