"Exercise Your Faith"
“You can feel sore
tomorrow or you can feel sorry
tomorrow”, that choice is up to YOU!
Repetition can be brutal – in “Exercising”, that is… Doing
the same regimented work-out routines, monitoring your diet; and trying to find
a way to keep on pace to reach our ULTIMATE GOAL – Health and Wellness! “Faith like muscle only grows if you use it!”
Working on our faith at times can get real old, real
quick! Believing for healing, trusting
for favor, hoping for prosperity, and standing in the gap for your relationships,
works out every spiritual muscle we
have – our spiritual well-being is in the
hands of our “personal trainer” – The Holy Spirit. Our faith is being stretched and pulled in awkward
ways, uncomfortable manners and discomforting fashion all for our overall spiritual fitness.
It’s hard to get started with an exercise routine, but once
started, it becomes addictive and it’s
far harder to stop and quitting seems to no longer be an option.
Our first impediment to overcome is the way that we think
about our faith – Lethargically speaking…
We came into this world with a defect, a predisposed and preexisting condition called sin and only the blood of Jesus Christ can
rid us of the disease.
Tiredness, soreness, is all
associated with and are indicators, of the
effects of a good work-out.
To be in good health, both physically and spiritually; takes effort on each
of our parts. Pulchritude isn’t always verifiable
harbingers that were in good health. We
can look well and appear the picture of “good” health and be spiritually dying in and decaying. The Walking Dead or Zombie life isn’t what
God intended for us. Although we are
dead until we are spiritual Risen in Christ, we live, move and have our being
in him.
Keep the goal of the Promises of
God in your heart and out in front of you in order to keep your motivation
up! Don’t allow slothfulness, and the
guise that fools most people who are out-of-shape,
that, “It doesn’t take all of that”.
Indeed it does – plus some!
It takes all the above in order to be Healthy! Sustaining good health is easier
than starting over-and-over again. Get
and gain traction and stay the course!
