1st Timothy Chapter 4
Am I in Training?
Paul writes that we are to train ourselves to be godly. Physical training has some value, but Paul says our spiritual training has greater value not just in this present life but in the Life to come.
Think how different our lives would be if we were committed to train our spiritual bodies to godliness.
Think of your job, or a hobby you love, or of a passion you have. Think of all that is required of you physically to carry these out. For me my job, for hunting, for exercising, all require from me a huge commitment starting from getting out of bed, to learning, to study, to persevering through tough times, etc etc etc.
Now, what if we put forth that same amount of energy, when it comes to our spiritual bodies. Paul tells us to be diligent so that people see our progress. Can people see your progress in your faith walk? Would people call us role models when it comes to our spiritual lives? What would have to change in your life today so that people see progress and see you as role models? Are you in SPIRITUAL TRAINING? Think about it!
