Exercise and eating right is hard but it sure does make you feel better.
1 Timothy 4:8, For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
So, for the past 5 months my wife and I have been going to the walking track almost everyday together. For the first couple of months we walked for a mile and then we took on another. Forty-five minutes of each day is invested in our lives to drop a few pounds, get my blood pressure down, and hopefully live longer. By the grace of God, two of those three goals have been obtained. Let’s just say, I’m going to have to buy some new pants pretty soon. 😊
However, if that’s all we ever did and we never invested into our spiritual walk with the Lord, it would all be in vain. You see, while losing weight and getting that blood pressure down is important to living a healthier life, it does not guarantee a longer life. Our lives are in the hands of our Saviour. Our days have been numbered. It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. You may be physically fit. Your blood pressure my be perfect. You may have just left the doctors office. However, if it is your time to go, I hope you’re ready to meet Jesus. Are you ready—spiritually? If not, take another lap through the Word of God!
