This morning I woke up and thought:  “I need to go work out!”, but I talked myself out of it!  I then went into the den and had my devotion time with the Lord and the Holy Spirit got all over me about the fact that I needed to go and work out.  When I finished my devotion time – I went and worked out and guess what?  I survived to talk about it, in fact – l loved it!  I feel great!

While I was working out – I was talking with one of our church members and could not help but realize that for a lot of people have the same battle spiritually to have a daily time with God as the battle that I have physically to have a daily time with the treadmill!  We know that we need to do it, we just can’t convince ourselves to get things going.  We want to and then we don’t want to!  We start thinking of all of the reasons why we can’t or why we shouldn’t.  The result is rather than getting stronger – we get weaker and sicker and then some stress blows into our lives and we are really in trouble!

As I discovered this morning – if my spiritual is right then I am going to have to work to make my physical right too!  I’ve got a feeling that you know what I am talking about.  So get up and talk to God and listen to God!  You know – The Creator of the Universe really has some intereting things to say!  Get up and get busy physically by allowing God to get you in shape so that you can enjoy the things that He has created!  It is a tough battle, but we can win it!
