Fall is now here and it is a most
beautiful season. With the Fall flowers blooming, and the leaves changing
colors and falling from the trees. Another sign that it is fall is that summer
is over and everyone is back to their normal routine. For some it is the beginning
of a new year for the start of school and for others it is back to work.
This fall many of the topics for
newspapers, magazines, talk radio, and other media has to do with losing
weight, eating healthy, and exercising. These topics bring loads of
advertisements for such things as diet books, diet foods and loads of weight
loss products, whole food products, along with exercising equipment to keep in
shape.
All of this to help us to live and eat
healthier so that we can be physically fit.
But
what about our spiritual fitness? We are not just physical beings.We are spiritual beings as well and need to address the needs
of our spiritual nature.
To be spiritually fit we have to feed our
spiritual nature with spiritual food and do spiritual exercises. Spiritual
fitness also involves spiritual training and spiritual discipline.
As we take care of the physical, let us
not forget the spiritual as well. One of our spiritual exercises is walking by
faith. Unlike physical walking where we can see where we are going, spiritual
walking is by faith and not by sight.(2 Cor.5:7). Walking by faith is believing
God’s promises will be fulfilled even when we can’t see them. With the gloomy
situation that the world is in today, we need spiritual fitness more now then
we ever did before. Having a healthy spiritual life will also help us with our
physical fitness.
My book: The Christian Olympics: Going for the Gold Crowns, can help you to become spiritually fit. You will
discover other spiritual exercises that are beneficial to your spiritual life.
In times like these we cannot survive without spiritual fitness. Get On Your
Mark, Get Set, And LET’S GET SPIRITUALLY FIT this Fall !!!
