For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.1 Timothy 4:8 NKJV Bible Gateway
If you watch children on a playground whether it is at a park, McDonalds or even at a fitness center children’s area, you observe children having so much fun on the equipment which is way fancier than our old school jungle gyms. Children don’t realize it is exercise but it is quite the workout for any adults who have joined their grandchildren or children. I often think adults need one for them.
What if you were to give as much concern to exercising your spirit just as if it were your body. The body is the temple of the Holy Spirit so it is good to not mistreat it or desecrate it but our spirit is what needs daily feeding.
Each day is a challenge to stay on track and make sure to spend a quiet time alone with God for if you don’t, soon spiritual ‘muscles’ weaken and your desire wanes. Satan loves disinterested brothers and sisters in Christ who little by little start to put their quiet time on back burner. Make it happen some way even if it is only Christian music playing to sooth your spirit. Now go grow in Christ. Cast off junk that weighs you down.
PRAYER: Lord I love your word the Bible for it is life giving. Forgive me when not only do I fail to pray but also to hide your word in my heart. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
