Up and at ’em! Time to be up and about, do those stretches, take a walk or go to the gym to work out.

What do you do to get in shape or stay in shape? Exercise is good and may lead to a longer, healthier life.

Remember though, that no matter how hard you try, you cannot hold back the forces of time. Someday, maybe sooner, maybe later, your body will break down.

The Psalmist wrote, “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” Psalm 73:26.

By all means, go and exercise today. Keep your body as fit as you can, but keep in the forefront of your mind that true fitness comes from a right relationship with God through the sacrifice of Jesus upon the cross.

A strong faith in Him will give you power and strength beyond anything you will find as a result of your daily workout. Pastor Jim.
