Ladies, I wanted to share some valuable thoughts about a disciplined body from my study bible....
1. Be accepting: God designed your physical make-up. Refrain from criticizing His creation (Psalm 139:13-16)
2. Be grateful: God has give you a triumphal new nature at your conversion. You are admonished to give thanks to God who give you victory in the Lord Jesus Christ (1 Cor. 15:57)
3. Be careful: The Bible, speaking for moderation and against gluttony, condemns over-indulgence (Proverbs 23:20-21). Resist extra helpings and rich foods that add additional inches.
4. Be disciplined: Achieving temperance in eating will strengthen other areas in your life. (1 Cor. 6:12)
5. Be active: Regular exercise will help you reach and maintain your ideal weight. Activity also improves productivity, cardiovascular stamina, and mental alertness. (Heb.12:1)
6. Be persistent: Just as Paul finished the race (2 Tim.4:7), you, too, can persevere if you set a goal and move forward victoriously to achieve it!
If you don't know, my husband and I are embarked on a 60 day spiritual, physical, and personal challenge together. However, I wanted to extend the challenge to you ladies as well. It's time to get our spirit, body, and minds right. I'm suggesting that if you would like to start and keep each other accountable, I will do another post that includes your personal physical goals, starting weight/measurements, and the reward. It will start for you tomorrow, August 3 - Sept 30. Let me know if you are in by this evening! Love you all and have a blessed day!
