Exercise...need I say more?
I'm not against it...I just don't have time for it right now. I know I need it and I plan on starting soon, hopefully after I finish up the school year. I was reading in Timothy the other day and I came across this verse that made me feel so much better about that 8 letter word...
1 Timothy 4:8 "For bodily exercise profiteth little..."
Woohooo!!! I got a big ole smile on my face and showed Jeff this verse, he just laughed at me. I know that God wants us to keep our bodies healthy and He is not saying don't exercise...I just thought it was funny that there was a verse that could (sort of) support me when I don't exercise. lol
Here is the full verse, "For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come."
Yes, I did get more out of this verse than just the part that made me feel better about not exercising. Godliness is much more important than how our bodies are, it will profit us now and in the future. Us and our families...how we are raising our children and how we handle our marriage.
So thought you other women out there may like this verse too!
Well, Cystal you got Mrs. Sandy's wheels turning this morning, If only we could get out of doing exercise. My body is an example of what can happen if you don't get any. I do believe that a spirtual mind is a lot stronger than a fit body. When judgement day comes, I don't think God is going to be looking at how buff we are. I think the only thing he is going to see and wants to see is if we accepted His Son as our trainer and followed his instructions. I do know how tuff them trainers can be!!! But, I do believe while we are on this earth, we should be doing both. Yes, that even includes exercising my darling. OUCH, where is the bengay?
