I have a question to ask you in our two minutes together, "Are you living life to the max or is your life completely maxed out?"

What do I mean by that? In today's society which is so fast paced and so many pressures on the home and at the workplace we tend to run from one thing to the next. Maybe it's taking the kids to football practice, it's off to choir practice and then pick the children up again and then if you have one or two children in the house maybe you just feel like you're a taxi driver or you're just running around with the children and getting on. Then in the evening it's off to the Church meeting and then the prayer meeting then Sunday two services and life just seems to be completely maxed out for you and yet you don't feel fulfilled in it.

If I was to say to you in John 10:10 it says, "I have come that you might have life and have life to the full", you might say to me, "My life to the full; it's completely burning me out". Maybe that's because we're looking at it from a point of view that we're not living life to the max in the presence and the power of God.

I'm not saying it's easy to readjust your schedules and what you have to do, I only know too well what it's like to have children in the house and have activities and have to run a home, have to minister, have to go to prayer meetings, have to... I know what it's like but I've learnt in the years that I've been in ministry to reset and refocus my goals. In the morning I ask the Holy Spirit for His strength, for His guidance and for His purposes in my life. The natural things still happen but I can draw from the strength that I have received in that morning, that time of prayer, that time of worship that I spent in God because the Bible says the joy of the Lord is my strength. Yet so many of us feel maxed out because we're living this busy life which is necessary and important in a condition where we're not inviting or invoking the presence of the Holy Spirit in our everyday lives.

Let's together get to the throne of God and allow His joy to be your strength that your life might be lived to the max.
