Dictionary of Biblical Words:
This may be fleshly, or may be the earnest fixed desire of the new man to glorify God (Josh. 24:1515And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. (Joshua 24:15)). It is blessed to see this energy in the Christian life. The steady purpose and fixed resolve of the worldly man is often a rebuke to the vacillating and feeble course of many a Christian. The path of the Lord was ever characterized by intense purpose (Psa. 16:88I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. (Psalm 16:8); Luke 2:99And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. (Luke 2:9); Heb. 10:77Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. (Hebrews 10:7)).
