According to Noah Webster, Zeal is the passionate ardor in the pursuit of anything. It is an eagerness of

desire to accomplish or attain some object. Zeal pushes the mission forward and accomplishes great things.

Zeal must be rooted in two things, knowledge and discipline. Today we will throw off impulsive fervor and learn why knowledge

is critical when living zealously for the Lord. Welcome to Shephruz Faithful, the podcast to help

you think biblically and live faithfully. I'm your host, Lauren Lushak. Welcome to the show. Hi, thank you so much for being

here. Thanks for hanging out with me today. I'm excited about today's topic, talking about zeal.

I don't know if you've ever been zealous for something, but I've seen a lot of zeal. I've seen a lot

of zeal lately online. I've seen a lot of zeal in life.

purse, a bag of snacks that you put in your purse. And this happened to me. This week, I've lost my

keys for two weeks or two days. I have been searching everywhere for me. This week, I've lost my keys for two weeks, or two days. I have been

searching everywhere for them. And finally today, I went into my purse, which I have looked in

many times, and took out a bag of pretzels that was my emergency snack for my children, people for the

children, and I thought, wow, this is a pretty hefty pretzel bag for being

two-thirds of the way consumed. And sure enough, I reached in and there were my keys. So I thought,

wow, this, you know, no one's going to look here if they are trying to rob me of my keys because I didn't know for two days.

They were in the pretzel bag.
