I am so sore from all of the physical work-outs I have been doing over the last several weeks and months. My body has been so out of shape. I have let it go for years and now I am paying the price for the negligence. A few days ago I joined a workout group because I realized I needed help to go to another level in my physical fitness. It was very tough, but I knew I had taken the right steps.
Paul told Timothy in 1 Tim. 4:8 “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.”
Don’t neglect the spiritual training of spending time with Jesus each day, talking with Him each day, spending time with those who challenge you to go another step on the journey. Do not forget the importance of gathering with other believers consistently to worship God. The strength and energy you gain from the Body of Christ getting together is incredibly important.
Where are you in your training? Both physical and spiritual training are important to you as a follower of Christ. Obviously, the most important is your spiritual development, that training will last throughout this life and the next.
