I made a New Years resolution that I would lose weight. So I got on the scales yesterday and I’ve gained not lost weight. Can you imagine such a thing? It has nothing to do with the ice cream or other late night grazes that I have been known to do. I meet with a group of men on Monday mornings and this week we were talking about the discipline of exercise and how to be fit you must have a constant and disciplined schedule to stay fit. No matter how long you work out it only takes about a week for the process of going backward in your fitness to start to go soft, and boy am I soft. And it seems like the longer we stay away from fitness the harder the journey is to get started again.
Yes I know that I have to decrease intake and increase motion, I know all the cute saying and catch phases that are supposed to motivate and inspire you, it’s still hard. Our conversation on Monday turned to how we need to do the same thing in our spiritual walk with God. We need to read his word (bible) daily and spend time in prayer. The more you do do this the easier it is to continue to do it. But if you slack for a couple of days, man just like exercise it’s harder to get started again. You start and it’s work, but the more you do it gets easier to keep it up. Psalms chapter 119 verse 11 tells us “I have hidden your word in my heart so that I may not sin against you”
So in conclusion I will continue to hide the word of God in my heart, and I will lose weight.
