Getting stronger

There are a lot of areas in my life that I need to be stronger: spiritually, mentally, physically, financially, maybe even emotionally. There are ways to accomplish some of these. If you want to become mentally stronger, you can test yourself with quizzes and difficult problems. If you want to become stronger financially, you can seek counsel of financial planners and brokers. If you want to become stronger physically, you can exercise, lift weights, etc. But, what about spiritually?

The only way you will ever get to know how to become more like GOD is to spend more time with GOD. We can do that by reading His word, by attending church, by listening to godly people and music, through our prayer life. Just as you can't grow physically without doing some physical exercise, you will not grow spiritually without doing something spiritual. And, the payoff is tremendous.

Today's word is Proverbs 24:5, NLT, which reads, "The wise are mightier than the strong, and those with knowledge grow stronger and stronger."

Of all the exercising we can do, it is the exercise of gaining spiritual wisdom that will pay the most dividends. The wiser we become in GOD, the mightier we become in this world. The Bible teaches us that GOD uses the simple things to confound the wise, which tells me that GOD can use me, a simple guy. However, if I don't put in the time to gain His wisdom, I will never be as strong as He wants me to be and that I could be.

Get out there and get some exercise. Grow stronger and stronger each day. And, take time to grow in the LORD, which will do more for us than any physical exercise could ever do.

Be Blessed,
