Dictionary of Biblical Words:
This may be fleshly, or may be the earnest fixed desire of the new man to glorify God (Josh. 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. 16:8; Luke 2:9; Heb. 10:7).
