SPIRITUAL VITAMIN E: EXERCISE<\/strong>
\n“I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offense toward God and toward men.”<\/em> Acts 24:16 (KJV)<\/p>\n

Today’s Thought:<\/strong>
\nToday our Spiritual Vitamin is: Spiritual Exercise.
\nWe need to put into action what we believe.<\/p>\n

For “Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.” <\/em>1 Timothy 4:8 (NLT)<\/p>\n

Today’s Action:<\/strong>
\n“…exercise yourself toward godliness”<\/em> 1 Timothy 4:7 (NKJV)<\/p>\n

What exercise do you need to do to get yourself spiritually healthy?
\nDo you need to exercise more self-control?
\nPerhaps you need to practice forgiveness?
\nMaybe you need to work on enlarging your heart to hold more love?
\nOr possibly you need to develop and train your mind to think godly thoughts?<\/p>\n

Whatever you need to do, remember God is right there beside you to help you for He wants you to succeed!<\/p>\n
