Daily Discipline

"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."

 

1 Timothy 4 : 8

 

 

We read in the latter half of verse 12 . "be an example to the believers in the word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity."

 

Bodily exercise is not a one off thing.. Ask anyone who is into exercising.. its a daily discipline. How much more godliness ?

 

Its this fun balance of being broken of self and built by Him (broken yet built)... Its this fun balance of surrendering all yet pursuing Him, pursuing His holiness.

 

My mom always told me this as a kid..she would say "The Bible says run your race looking unto Jesus. So be sure never to set your focus on anything or anyone else. Because people disappoint, things fail.. But Jesus never fails"

 

Sometimes we start running looking unto Jesus and along the way get side tracked and though we are still running we are looking somewhere else :)

 

Whats our focus today ? What's the pursuit of our heart ? Are we disciplined for godliness ? Or are we fillling ourselves with junk food ? ;)

 

His grace ! His Love ! His mercy ! We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. He never asks us to do the impossible .

 

God Bless
