"For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come." 1 Timothy 4:8
I'm sure we'll all agree exercise is good for us. From it we get energy and strength to serve God each day. But its value doesn't come close to the value of godliness. We need to make it a habit of exercising our spiritual muscles too! Exercise does give you benefits in this short life on Earth, but the benefits of godliness will leave you speechless. "However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived” — the things God has prepared for those who love him." 2 Corinthians 2:9.
You may not know where to start to exercise your spiritual muscles. Sometimes its hard to know where to start. Ask God to show a need you can fill. Ask your church where they need help. See if the "new person" wants to go to the gym or bible study with you. You could make dinner for someone suffering a loss, or someone welcoming a new baby. There are so many things you can do to help someone! God loves watching his children do loving things for each other, especially people most would overlook. God blesses us everyday, so lets follow the example and bless others. Let me know how you worked your spiritual muscles :)
