Today's Verse

"for, while physical training is of some value, godliness is valuable in every way, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come." - 1 Timothy 4:8

I've noticed for the last several weeks now, as I walk by a nearby gym, that it has been busier than usual, probably because of New Year's resolutions that were made. As I walked past it the other day, this thought struck me: What if Jesus had a gym? What would it be like? In the preceding verse of Timothy (4:7) it says to "train yourselves in godliness." That tells me that although physical exercise is important, more importantly we should be training ourselves in spiritual exercise. Just like a trainer in a gym who teaches us the right way to exercise, the Lord wants to train us in His word. He wants us to focus on reading the scriptures and teaching others the value of a spiritual workout. I understand that people want good physical health; hence, going to the gym, but more importantly is our spiritual health for our soul. Yes, we are to take care of our bodies (1Cor. 3:16,) but eventually our bodies give out. If you want eternal life then start your spiritual training today, if you haven't already. - Commentary by: Anna Pachaud
