The benefits of exercise are multiple. We may lose weight and inches to gaining strength and confidence. What happens if exercise is our only being? Where is the balance?
I had a time in my life that I felt the only way I could control my weight was through exercise. I am not telling you it is a part of the picture, however having that balance with what you put in your body is a HUGE component. There is a saying, "Abs are made in the kitchen, not the gym." so true for the physical part of my body, however what about the spiritual part?
Too many times I see and hear people spending hours in the gym, or feeling so guilty if they don't get a workout in. The reality is that the best way to accomplish your goal: gaining weight or losing weight, toning or putting on size....is having a balance with fitness, food....and faith!
Here is a little trivia for you: Did you know that the Bible only has one scripture that mentions "exercise". This makes me realize that when I exercise it does takes care of His temple, however when I exercise spiritually I am taking care of myself eternally. Are you developing your spiritual muscles?
"For exercise is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come."
~1 Timothy 4:8
