I was working out with a guy from our church this morning and we were talking about being physically fit and ho in the past 10 months I've lost 20 lbs. I feel so much better but I know there's more I could do. Lately I haven't been that faithful but I'm still living with physical stability. I don't go up, I don't go down, I just maintain. That's when I had a thought. I thought, I was living at risk physically, and now I'm living with stability, but I want to live in physical vitality. It hit me, at, with, in, hmm, maybe there's a sermon here!
So many of us spiritually live at risk. We don't do our devotions, we occasionally go to church, we need the pastor to pump us up or else we will fail and we're not doing the things we know we're supposed to be doing. We're one temptation away from dying! And yet there are those that are doing life with spiritual stability. We're doing enough to take care of ourselves, the bad habits are gone and we're doing good. Most people looking at us would think we have it all together but we don't we're actually hot and cold. Temptation is near and most of the time we win. Very few people live in spiritual vitality. Living a life that does the right thing no matter what. we don't coast, we press on and we have not only enough to keep us on track, we have enough left over to give away to others. My goal is to live that way in spiritual and physical and emotional vitality!
