Spiritual Fitness

"Do not waste time arguing over godless ideas and old wives’ tales. Instead, train yourself to be godly."

1 TIMOTHY 4:7

God is constant - he is always alive - he is always love. Let your heart and mind be free of human distraction and commit in all things to align your human will to that of the Holy Spirit. Be diligent in building spiritual strength. Just as you watch what you eat to maintain health, so too is the truth of the Spirit inside. Spiritual fitness takes dedication and commitment like all accomplishments in life. 

In each of us there are areas of great strength in obedience to God, then there is this one thing that we make excuses for as being inconsequential to God. If it is a subject matter to which the Lord continually causes you to revisit, stop the action at once. God is always patient, but at once you are aware of the change, he desires you to make, it is time to make the change. 

To be fit with God is to know his ways - it is to be trained in all situations to see his glory - to hear his voice - to be a vessel of transport for the Holy Spirit. 

God's training is different than human training. His goal is that you seek him - your creator and the creator of all life. He desires to renew your heart and make you his. To be his, you must do as Jesus did and as he says. We must obey his ways - his word and be saved in the name of the one and only living God - Christ Jesus. 

“Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.” 1 Timothy 4:8 

“Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.” Hebrews 10:36 

“Let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne. Think of all the hostility he endured from sinful people; then you won’t become weary and give up.” Hebrews 12:1-3
