Scripture
1 Timothy 4:8 For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.
Observation
It is good to exercise the physical body (I am starting today) but it is worth so much more, both now and for eternity, to keep the spiritual body in shape.
Application
I have found that if my physical body is in better shape it is easier to keep my spirit in shape also. I can't only focus on the physical or pride and vanity can creep in. The more energy I have the sharper my mind stays. I can meditate and pray with more effectiveness.
Father help me stay on a course of keeping myself healthy. Not just for my sake but for my family and friends also. I know this will allow me to be effective in my Christian walk and testimony. Never let me be so focused on my physical body that I stray into pride and vanity.
