“You’ve been raised on the Message of the faith and have followed sound teaching. Now pass on this counsel to the followers of Jesus there, and you’ll be a good servant of Jesus. Stay clear of silly stories that get dressed up as religion. Exercise daily in God—no spiritual flabbiness, please! Workouts in the gymnasium are useful, but a disciplined life in God is far more so, making you fit both today and forever. You can count on this. Take it to heart. This is why we’ve thrown ourselves into this venture so totally. We’re banking on the living God, Savior of all men and women, especially believers.”
1 Timothy 4:8 MSG – A verse of the day from the Bible presented in Eugene Peterson’s contemporary version called The Message. Accompanied by a personal reflection below.
It’s just as important as working out physically! What is, you ask? Working out spiritually, growing stronger in God’s Word, maturing in God’s ways, exhibiting strong and clear definitions of Christ-like character, personifying Christ in your daily walk — all this is just as important as physically working out. Here’s hoping you are doing just that, Believer!
