Romans 10:2 (NIV)
2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge.
Being passionate can be a good thing, but only if it is the right thing. Even then, one can miss the mark. Paul speaks of his brethren, the Israelites. Their fervor for God was without question, but they were off the mark on how to seek and please God. Paul says that their efforts were not based on knowledge. The knowledge he speaks of is what God desires as revealed by Jesus.
We won’t understand it all perfectly, but we know that the One we worship is the source of all truth. Truth is relative only in the sense of our relating to the One that is Truth. If we base our thinking on anything other His revelation, then we are in danger of being misguided in our seeking.
May our prayer be to humble ourselves and to seek God. May He grant us the wisdom and peace we seek.
