"Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever." -I Corinthians 9:25 (NIV)
I like to exercise, but sometimes it may be hard to fit it in. If we want to see results, we need to be sure that we have the right training and that our exercise is consistent. The same is true when we want to build our "spiritual muscle."
When we commit to God, the devil will be waiting to trip us up. We need to prepare ourselves. We need to to be consistent with our spiritual training. We can spend time each day reading God's Word and talking with God through prayer. We can have fellowship with other believers on a regular basis. As we build ourselves and each other up, we can be better prepared to respond to the devil's temptations as we pursue our eternal crown!
Begin training with God's Word, prayer, and fellowship to build your spiritual muscle!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for the ways I have to communicate with You, learn from You , and grow in You. Help me to continue to get spiritually stronger. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
