I love the fact that many of my family and friends are turning the ship in their personal health. Everything from P90X, Triathlon training, and walking & running. My wife Lynn has just completed her very first 1/2 marathon, and will run the Cooper River Run this year. I plan to ride in my 5th Mt Bike race this year. Some would joke that this is just a fad and we all will eventually just land on the couch. That could be true, but if it is so, it would be because we had no plan and no goals in place.
What about building Spiritual Muscle?
Sometimes we wonder why we end up in spiritual and emotional train wrecks, and say "I can't believe that I am here, or why did I make such poor decisions". Satan wants us lulled to sleep and will feed us anything to keep us from waking up to the fact that we do not have to live as slaves.
I want to encourage you to put a plan in place and get into the practice of praying and doing something about your Spiritual Growth.
As a start, turn off the TV and use S.O.A.P. as you read God's word:
S = Scripture, meaning to read and to hear the words read.
O = Observation, meaning looking at a verse and look for the key words and main point or points
