Spiritual fitness? What we are today may be only a shadow of what we may be tomorrow. When we set our minds on the process, there is no looking back. Each day, as we make progress on our physical fitness program, we are losing something that we don’t need and gaining something that we do. That is the whole point of the process.
Think about it. We need to go on a spiritual diet that will eventually end up with a glorious goal–-eternal life in Christ! But, like physical dieting, we need to discipline ourselves and adopt a spiritual diet; denying the sinful pleasures of this world.
God’s Word tells us: In the Apostle Paul’s message to the Colossians, he writes: “. . . set your hearts on things above where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set you minds on things above, not on earthly things” (Colossians 3: 1-17).
Today would be a good day to nurture a gentle spirit and remove deceit from our lives. Go on a spiritual diet; deny yourself the pleasures of this life. You’ll lose a ton of spiritual baggage in the process and gain eternal life. That’s the best diet on earth, or in heaven, for that matter.
. “I pray today in Jesus name that each of us go on a spiritual diet in all due haste. This world offers us a lot of pleasures, all of them spiritually fattening. We would do best by abstaining altogether. Amen!”
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own” (Matthew 6:34) www.thispassingday.com
