Don’t just “try” but apply! Don’t whine but shine!

Fitness is like food and consistency is the key. If you miss a meal you usually don’t just skip it all together; and who goes for days on end without eating. If you will just be half as diligent with your exercise as you are with your eating you will excel. There’s no excellence without effort. You have to exert you energy for you endeavors to succeed. Don’t just “try” but apply. Don’t whine and say, “I wish, I would, I should” but say, “I will” and then do it and keep on doing it until it becomes a habit. Exercise is a vital element for every area of life. It’s like food and one way or another make sure you get enough of it. You can always find a way to work it into your schedule when you decide it’s a priority. Missed any meals lately? Are you so busy that you’ve just stopped eating? “Yea, I tried that but it just takes so much effort to plan and prepare or you have to go somewhere to eat; and it costs money and takes time, it may be good for some but not me I haven’t eaten in years….” So which areas of your life are anorexic and weak? (Spirit, soul, body, finances or relationships) It’s time to make a change and start getting the nutrition and exercise you need EVERYDAY! It’s not an option. If you’ve learned how to survive then you can do this! So find a way and make time to make it happen.

1 Thess 5:23-24
23 May God himself, the God who makes everything holy and whole, make you holy and whole, put you together — spirit, soul, and body — and keep you fit for the coming of our Master, Jesus Christ. 24 The One who called you is completely dependable. If he said it, he'll do it!

2 Thess 1:11-12
11 Because we know that this extraordinary day is just ahead, we pray for you all the time — pray that our God will make you fit for what he's called you to be, pray that he'll fill your good ideas and acts of faith with his own energy so that it all amounts to something. 12 If your life honors the name of Jesus, he will honor you. Grace is behind and through all of this, our God giving himself freely, the Master, Jesus Christ, giving himself freely.
