Are You On Fire, or Just Burned Out?

As I read through the book of Mark it is incredible to me how Jesus is constantly on the go. He is obviously a man of great strength and stamina. He maintains an active schedule of service for God. And yet he was subject to all the human limitations with which you and I struggle: hunger, thirst, fatigue. How was He able to maintain such an active pace?

First, He was energized by the Holy Spirit (Mark 1:10,12)–the same Holy Spirit who empowers you as a child of God today. Second, He was fortified daily by prayer (Mark:1:35). He knew that the busier the schedule in God’s service, the greater the need for prayer. Take a peek at your appointment calendar for today. Is it too busy for prayer? Then it’s busier than God intended it to be.

Start today and every day on your knees.

Be the Blessing
