Science tells us that exercise is great for our bodies and also when practiced consistently will also boost our mood. With this I concur. I have found setting up a regular routine of exercise has been quite beneficial. The exercise has aided me in controlling my diabetes and given me a good deal more energy. My morning walks also tend to improve my outlook and leads me to greater productivity in the workday.
This leads to a critical question for us as Christians, do we exercise our faith? Much like the discipline we use in our health, fitness, or exercise programs an active faith is vital to a healthy faith.
The book of James tells us, "faith without works is dead." With these thoughts in mind I urge us to engage the disciplines of faith regularly. Prayer, Bible study, service, and church attendance are all important to the growth and health of our spiritual lives.
When we combine healthier living with greater spiritual discipline we will reap many benefits not only now but into eternity. Let's all take a look at where we stand in both of these areas and make a concerted effort to begin a regimen of self improvement in both areas. With God we will. . . Make a difference for eternity.
