Many people today spend a great deal of time and money keeping fit.
It is a good thing to take care of our physical bodies, however, this scripture, reminds us that the body we are given only lasts for this lifetime.
When we die, our body returns to the ground.
Just as it’s important to look after our bodies, it’s of even greater importance to look after our inner being.
For that, we need to undertake spiritual training.
Spiritual training is conditioning our spirits to respond in ways it can't do by itself.
Just as we exercise our bodies, we need to incorporate spiritual disciplines into our daily lives.
Spiritual disciplines include reading and studying God's word, daily prayer, praying in tongues, fasting and spending time in the secret place.
These practices all help us to become more Christ like and help us to grow in our relationship with God.
So let’s not neglect incorporating these spiritual practices into our lives.
There is no better investment a person could make than to prepare ourselves for the eternity we will spend with Jesus.
