I am following a system to lose weight. This includes exercise. I'm not huge, but a bit too cuddly. Is this something a christian should bother about? In 1Timothy 4: 8 we read,"Physical training is of some value." So looking after your body is of some importance, but Paul goes on to say,"But godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come." If we spend hours on our physical well being and neglect the spiritual side we will one day come a cropper when we realise we have toned our bodies and neglected the part of us that will continue after the body is dead and gone. We need to get right with God before it is too late.
Every time I take a few days off from my blog my ratings slump. Very rarely do people go back into my old posts and read again. This is a typical attitude of the human heart, always wanting something different. At this time of year we should not be greedily wondering want new thing we will be getting for Christmas. Instead we should be looking at the old, old story, which is ever new of a baby who amazingly was God incarnate, God's gift to those who will put there trust in this one who was to grow up to give His life for His people. Set aside the controversy over whether December 25th is the actual date of His birth.(Shepherds do not keep their sheep out at night in Israel in December.) and set aside time to think about the fact that He did come and ponder if He came to set you free and if your answer is ,"Yes," He will make you free indeed.
