Title: Spiritual Workout
The Lord is the Strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one. – Psalms 28: 8
I started lifting weights and running a few years ago for health and stress reasons. It worked, and I could see the results. If I drift away from my workout program, it shows up in my health and stress, and I can tell I’ve lost some physical strength. If I miss too many days, it is a struggle to get back into the routine.
I have also seen this happen with my spiritual health and strength. I miss a day of prayer or being in the Word, and then one day turns into two, and the next thing I know, the effects become evident.
For the Lord to be our strength, we must be in the Word and maintain constant communication with Him. It has to become a routine part of our day. If we don’t, we become spiritually weak, which becomes very attractive to the enemy.
Real Men find their Strength in the Lord with His word and prayer.
