work out
The sun is shining in the Pacific NW… and everyone {I mean EVERYONE} seems to have come out of the woodwork. The sidewalks are full of people walking… running… trails have hikers and children running at the parks.
I. love. the. sunshine.
Every year about this time… I think about how much I lack in my exercise regime – and am inspired to change it up some… or at least do something more.
Today I was reading in I Timothy 4… and I was a bit convicted by my spiritual exercise routine.
Key for me is to be in God’s Word. To take time to focus on His voice by reading my Bible…
Why is it that the busy can so easily come in and distract me from the disciplined work out I need most in my life?
Tell me I’m not alone… 😉
So, tell me, how do you work out?
“You’ve been raised on the Message of the faith and
have followed sound teaching.
Now pass on this counsel to the followers of Jesus there,
and you’ll be a good servant of Jesus.
Stay clear of silly stories that get dressed up as religion.
Exercise daily in God—no spiritual flabbiness, please!
Workouts in the gymnasium are useful, but a disciplined
life in God is far more so, making you fit both today and forever.
You can count on this. Take it to heart.
This is why we’ve thrown ourselves into this venture so totally.
We’re banking on the living God, Savior of all men and women,
especially believers.”
