1 Timothy 4:8 NASB "for bodily discipline is only of little profit, but godliness is profitable for all things, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come."As I check my weekly progress for the amount of time I worked out, rode my bike, walked, and exercised, I realized I didn't do as well this week as I had done in weeks past! Today's verse speaks to us about bodily discipline verses godliness and how one holds promise for this life and the next. I needed to get back on my schedule of working out each day, not just doing it haphazardly but being intentional about keeping in shape. And then I thought about my walk with Christ, how much have I worked on keeping in "godly shape"?! There is not chart or graph to show how much time I spent in God's Word, in prayer, in walking by the Spirit but if there was, what would mine look like? What would your's look like? Maybe it's time we get our spiritual bodies in better shape? peace, tom
