I just posted on my personal side of me blog, about my thoughts of physical fitness. I think that the Lord would have us to be fit in every aspect of our lives. In 1 Corinthians 6:19 we learn about the importance of our physical self. We are, after all, the Temple of the Holy Spirit. It just makes sense that we would think seriously about caring for this temple. I know several people that make this a priority in their lives, and I have to admit they are physically fit. I am praying for the motivation to become more physically fit. One thing I know, is that you just have to start…somewhere…but just start.
Just as with physical fitness, spiritual fitness comes with a starting place. There is great value in both. As important as our physical fitness is, the Scripture places priority on spiritual fitness. In 1 Timothy 4:7b-8, we are reminded that we should spend our time and energy in training ourselves for spiritual fitness. Physical exercise has some value, but spiritual exercise is much more important, for it promises a reward in both this life and the next. This is true, and everyone should accept it. NLT
Thought to Ponder: Training is important, both spiritually and physically.
Scripture to Ponder: “We are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” Ephesians 2:10 NLT
