Some of us exercise to try to keep these body’s, which God has given us, in reasonably good condition. Some of us even have a membership at a gym to motivate us to be disciplined to train regularly. It’s a good practice that will reap some benefits.  But…how much more important it is to invest the same effort in training ourselves…disciplining ourselves…spiritually…doing so to achieve the purpose being godly…for the glory of our God.

1 Timothy 4:7-8

Discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness; 8 for bodily discipline is only of little profit, but godliness is profitable for all things, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.

“The word train/discipline is a word with the smell of the gym in it – the sweat of a good workout.  It is an unabashed call to spiritual sweat.” ~ Kent Hughes

The Lord bless you and keep you…
