wholeness.
Today we weigh in at work. Our store has committed to do the “Biggest Loser” program. I know I don’t have the appearance of a candidate for this program, but I am apart of it nonetheless. I would like to lose ten pounds and tone up a bit. I’ve lost the figure I had in college, which wasn’t that impressive, but satisfying for me. I started working out this week with Pastor, definitely getting my butt kicked. I feel like a wimp, but its the beginning. In a few weeks, I’ll have my endurance back and I’ll be able to withstand the circuit training and the long runs and bike rides. I am thankful I am getting back into working out. I’ve missed it in my life. It helps with attitude, energy, and overall life.
Similar to the Word, when its left out of daily life. We lose what strength we’ve built up to whoop the Devil. I was in 2 Timothy 2 this morning and loved a couple verses, I’ll share..
“Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth (15).”
“Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity (19).”
“Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work. Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart (21-22).”
Between the Word and physical strength training, we are able to present ourselves before Father with pure hearts. Continue to seek after what holds value and edifies the heart and soul. Take hold of things that bring wholeness and don’t rob us of the total blessing and abundance from Father.
Hopefully, I’ll have weekly updates of my training and weight loss. Maybe a couple pictures. We’ll see where this leads.
