CONSTANT EXERCISE
Tuesday, February 20, 2018
Romans [ESV] 12:1-3 I therefore urge you, brothers, in
view of God's mercies, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices that are holy
and pleasing to God, for this is the reasonable way for you to worship. 2 Do not
be conformed to this world, but continually be transformed by the renewing of
your minds so that you may be able to determine what God's will is—what is
proper, pleasing, and perfect. 3 For by the grace given to me I ask every one
of you not to think of yourself more highly than you should think, rather to
think of yourself with sober judgment on the measure of faith that God has
assigned each of you.
The 3 verses
above are persistently on my heart.
Christine is a
young woman I’ve known since she was a child. She exercises. I don’t mean she
emulates my park-at-the-far-end-of-store-lot regimen. Christine exercises!! And
the benefits she enjoys are obvious. I applaud Christine
God’s Word
addresses the topic of physical exercise: “… bodily training is of some value,
godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life
and also for the life to come.” (ESV 1Tim.4:8)
This is not
condemnation of physical exercise. It is exhortation toward a life-order always
keeping an eternal perspective of prioritizing utmost values; that which
pleases God and benefits others in the greatest way.
