The Ultimate Max

When an athlete works out in the weight room, there is a very basic concept. They generally want to lift the maximum weight they can lift. Athletes want to make their muscles as strong as they can. By doing this, they can train their muscles to grow. The stronger their muscles grow, the stronger the athlete grows. If they are stronger, it stands to reason that they will have an advantage on the playing field. Athletes push their bodies to go the distance.

We always want to go farther, run harder, and compete at a higher level than we did last time. We want to be the strongest on the field and know that we have a better chance of winning than our opponent.

Some people, however, want to take the easy way out and get the results without putting forth the effort. They go to great lengths, cheating to get the “ultimate max.” The ultimate max is a simple concept: when we work, we grow—period. God’s ultimate max gives wisdom and strength to those who call on Him and seek His will.
