So I just started working out again, and my arms feel like wet noodle...and I don't exaggerate. I don't think I have lifted weights in about a year and a half. Although I am in pain, I don't say that to draw attention to myself, but to say that I have seen a huge correlation between me exercising daily and being in/growing in the word. Not to say that growth doesn't happen when we are not working out, but it says that we are to honor him in our bodies, and that means exercising and eating right...only putting things of worth into our bodies, just as we have been called to do in our spirit. I think there is something also about routine that pulls us into a daily communion with God. That's not to say that our time with Him becomes routine...far from it...because in routine, just like when we adhere to a monetary budget, we find that there was lots of free time that we were using to accomplish absolutely nothing. I know God is calling us into a deeper time with Him to worship him with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and if any part of this equation is lacking, there is no fullness in Him. Its not something I have succeeded at, actually, it's not something I am even good at, but I think it is important for us to encourage each other in spiritual and physical health.
