I was looking at some articles of regarding building certain muscles group. It talks about the effectiveness of certain exercises for certain muscles group. Doing the plank, machine crunch, hanging knee raise, flutter kick, diamond push up…certain exercise done at certain interval will be effective to build certain muscles group. The sciences and arts of building a great physique are many out there. The vision of the well tone body with 8 packs looks really good and it is motivating to work towards that. It looks achievable with the bombarding of the ‘vision’ and the articles to instruct you how to go about achieving it. BUT…unless we go, exercise and train with perseverance towards that vision…it is all look and read 😊. It is all head knowledge without working out the muscles…
1 Timothy
4:7–8 (RSV) 7 Have nothing to do with godless and silly myths. Train yourself in
godliness; 8 for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in
every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to
come.
We need to
exercise and train by putting into practice the Word spoken to us. We need to
turn those ‘information’ on how to have a great spiritual ‘physique’ into reality.
We need to practice certain disciplines to strengthen certain part of our ‘muscles’
group. We need to keep doing a certain ‘spiritual’ command to strengthen that
weakness in our life. Train yourself in godliness.
Nevertheless,
while we train ourselves in godliness and towards Christlikeness, let us also
have a strong and healthy body because the bodies are the vessels we need to
serve God and others.
Questions:
What are
some ‘strengthening’ you need? Look into Scripture and allow God to speak to
you.
What are
some ‘information’ you already have or know? Do it and do not procrastinate.
