The pain you feel today will be the success you feel tomorrow.
1 Timothy 4:7-8, But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. 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.
I have never been one to work out at the gym. I use to visit a gym but I never got into the pumping iron and all. I never saw it as being something that I could be “good” at so I didn’t continue to do it. That is probably one of the reasons why I’m out of shape and overweight. But you know what, I’d rather be overweight and out of shape physically than spiritually anemic. I would hate to know, when it comes to the things of God, I had left the foundations of our faith becoming anemic to God’s Word, work, and way.
To overcome becoming anemic, one must exercise their minds in the thing that matters most- The Word of God.
