Thursday Devotional - God of Grace – To the Physically Fit 9/1/2022

 Exercise is definitely a priority in my daily routine! I don’t always like the exercise, but the discipline and importance of exercise has been instilled in me since I was young. The importance of daily spiritual training was also modeled, practiced and supported from early on. I want to always make time for God, even if I don’t always get a physical workout for the day.

I Timothy 4:7-10       Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales; rather, train yourself to be godly. 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. ⁹ This is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance. ¹⁰ That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe.

Being physically fit can be honoring to God. Being spiritually fit is always honoring to God. It means we are putting our full focus on Him, trusting the Creator and Sustainer of the Universe!

Are you and I putting more emphasis on our physical fitness or our spiritual fitness? The God of Grace wants to help us with our training in godliness, as He knows it has value for all eternity!
