    The Daily Prompt – No. 334

    Share a hobby you’ve picked up recently — what got you into it?

    I’ve recently gotten back into running. I was looking for a way to shed extra pounds from my frame. I was running with a club that meets monthly but lately I’ve added extra runs into my fitness routine.

    I got into it more when someone I met at the club told me about Strava. I had seen the app before but I wasn’t able to use it because I had an old phone that was filled to the brim.

    Anyway, I downloaded it. When I saw that I could track my runs and incorporate the outputs and exercise into my other fitness apps, I became more motivated to run. It gave me numbers to hit and strive for. I wanted to see how much I could do and how many calories I was burning. Let me tell you, it was a revelation.

    Now, I’m not necessarily a running enthusiast, but I’m picking up the habit again from 6 years ago. Back then everything was closed, including the gyms. I was at my lowest weight ever and quite possibly my fittest since I discovered the Insanity home workout program.

    Can I beat 2020 me?

  • God Wants You Well

    “You need to make sure that you’re believing God. But God wants you well. And God can heal anything.

  • Physical Health is Spiritual Responsibility

    “I would also say this, that Romans 12.1 says we need to offer our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable or pleasing to God. And one translation says this is your spiritual act of worship. And then in Corinthians, it says that don’t you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit?

    My spirit dwells in you. Therefore, honor God with your body and your spirit. Now, I know in the verses preceding that and post seeding that they’re talking about prostitution and promiscuity, but it is the same thing.

    And I know there’s a scripture in, I believe, John that was added much later that says, what goes into a man’s mouth doesn’t make him unclean, but what comes out of a man’s mouth, thus Jesus declared all foods clean. First of all, there’s a definition problem there because God never meant for trash to be food regardless. So Chelsea is a great question.

    And I believe it physical health is our spiritual responsibility because we can determine how long we live and how well we serve God while we’re in this body. Our body is not perfected until eternity. And I think[…]”

  • Andy-ology

    I’m posting this because I think this a truth that we don’t realize, especially Christians. Having a merry heart is so important for your physical wellbeing as well as the mental.

    You should definitely follow Andrew Wommack. He’s a great teacher of the Word.

    They’re looking for a physical, organic answer for everything instead of recognizing that the matters of the heart are more important than anything else. You know, one of the areas that you can see this in real easily is when it comes to longevity and health. Even the average Christian puts so much emphasis on diet and exercise, which I do believe that those are a factor.

    That’s a part of it, but this is just andeology. It’s my own opinion. I believe diet and exercise is about 20% of our health.

    And I know that that shocks some people because again, the average Christian looks basically at health being 100% whether you’re eating properly and exercising and taking care of yourself in those physical realms. But the Bible says that a merry heart does good like a medicine. And there’s Christians that would eat right and exercise, but they allow discouragement, depression, fear, worry, care, overtake them.

    And they don’t put a priority on that. The scripture also says that if you honor your father and mother, you’ll have long life. So honoring authority, being humble and respective to people is one of the keys.

    And on and on, a week ago, just listed, the scripture talks about that there are spiritual things that I believe are much more important about your health and longevity than just these physical things. And yet, the average Christian has become humanistic in a sense, that they don’t see blessings as being a spiritual thing. It’s all carnal.
