[Devotional] IN HIS PRESENCE: Live a full life

Read: 2 Timothy 4:7-8

Meditation verse:

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith” 92  Timothy 4:7).

I listened to an interview of the late music legend, Tina Turner by Media Mogul, Oprah Winfrey. Oprah asked Tina how she felt being 73years old. Tina  responded by saying she had lived a full life and was very fulfilled. She said she not afraid to leave this earth when her time came because, she had done all she  was supposed to do on earth. She said, “I have lived, worked and done all; I have  lived a full life”. Tina Turner touched the world with her music. 

Several years ago, Paul the apostle having finished the ministry that God had  called him to do said, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I  have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness,  which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me  only but also to all who have loved His appearing” (2 Timothy 4:7-8).  

When all is said and done, will the life you are living now earn you the right to  say “I have finished the purpose for which I was born? Do you even know why  you are on earth? If your answer is no, start afresh today and make things right  with God by praying: “Lord, I acknowledge that the life I am living right now is  not in complete obedience to Your word. I ask for mercy and rededicate myself  to You this day. Fill me afresh with Your spirit and enable me to live in total  submission to Your will and purpose for my life”.  

“We are given a fresh start not only at the beginning of the year, but every  morning when we wake up. We have the chance to start anew and make things  right” (Maria Fontaine).
