Today’s Scripture

“For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.”
— 1 TIMOTHY 4:8 (NIV)

Two Types of Training

Physical Fitness:
✅ Strengthens your body (temporary)
✅ Improves health (for this life)
✅ Demands discipline (but fades with age)

Godly Fitness:
✅ Transforms your soul (eternal)
✅ Prepares you for heaven (unlimited ROI)
✅ Requires spiritual discipline (grows with practice)

Your Spiritual Workout Plan

“Train yourself to be godly” (1 Timothy 4:7) with these daily reps:

  1. Prayer – Your heart’s cardio
  2. Scripture – Your mind’s strength training
  3. Fellowship – Your faith’s team sport
  4. Service – Your love in action

Prayer for Holy Discipline

Heavenly Coach,
Thank You for caring about my whole being – body, soul, and spirit. Forgive me when I prioritize temporary gains over eternal growth.

  • Motivate me to crave spiritual nutrition like I crave physical food
  • Strengthen me to resist sin like I resist unhealthy habits
  • Align my heart to value what You value

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

🔥 This Week’s Challenge:

  1. Swap one gym session for a “prayer walk” (Exercise body + soul!)
  2. Find a faith workout buddy – Text someone: “Let’s grow in godliness together!”

💪 “Have nothing to do with godless myths… rather, train yourself to be godly.” (1 Timothy 4:7)
