1 Timothy 4:7-8
Have nothing to do with godless myths & old wives tales; rather, train your self to be godly. For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.
Authors prayer says that God has commanded us not to waste our time on foolish talk or foolish ideas. We are to train ourselves to be godly. It will require hard work & self discipline. My salvation is a free gift but what I do with that gift is up to me. Physical training is important, and exercise is important to God. He cares what we do with our bodies. This is important but my outward appearance is not more important than the condition of my heart or the substance of my character. We need to have a healthy balance between caring for our spirit, soul & body.
i actively strive for health in my spirit, soul & body. I seek healing whenever needed so that my spirit, soul and body may be kept blameless. Based on 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24
Walking is the cornerstone of this 90 day program..
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step----Chinese proverb
Some of the benefits of walking:
*walking burns about the same amount of calories per mile as running & easier on the joints.
*substantial decline in coronary problems in women
*reduces or eliminates high blood pressure
*cut the rest of diabetes in 1/2
*strengthens bones
*can reduce risk of breast cancer by 20%
perhaps the greatest benefits of walking are not physical but spiritual and emotional
* walking is a good time for praying & communing with God
*it boosts endorphins
*gives increased energy
Dont forget to drink lots of water & walk today.....Im off for my morning walk now.
