The world of physical fitness has captured the mind and the money of millions of people. Every day that you look at your T.V. screen, you can expect to see some kind of advertisement prompting you to get the perfect body. There are exercise machines that are designed to develop specific areas of your body as well as machines designed to give you a full body workout. If you are not gadget crazy, there are daily exercise shows that promise to turn your body into a work of art unlike anything created by the masters of yesterday – no matter
what condition it is in.
The world of spiritual fitness lies in the body of the church. Spiritual fitness is not a one-time activity. Just as effort must be applied daily in order to obtain and maintain a body that is physically fit, effort must be applied daily in order to obtain and maintain a mind that is spiritually fit. Just as the world makes exercising to obtain and maintain a healthy lifestyle look so enticing that millions of people become a part of a physically fit program, the church needs to let the excitement of being a part of the family of God become a reality and in so doing, entice the world to become a part of a fitness program that has eternal benefits.
1st Timothy 4:8 (New Living Translation) says:
Physical exercise has some value, but spiritual exercise is much more important, for it promises a reward in both this life and the next.
Daily exercise is important, just make sure that the benefits that you reap are not cancelled at the time of your death.
