Last night I went to my diet & fitness class and too my amazement I had lost another 1lb. To those whom have tried they will agree it’s hard. There are times when you feel like giving up. Discipline is hard. It is easy to give in to temptation, in my case it goes straight to the hips. Discipline in our Christian lives is hard too. Complaining and grumbling gets us no where. We are responsible for our own actions. Self-pity gets us into trouble; it just enlarges the problem and steals our faith, which in turn causes us to give up. So let God be your personal trainer, He’s 100% behind you.
Train yourself towards godliness (piety) Keeping yourself spiritually fit. For physical training is off some value (useful for a little) but godliness spiritual training is useful and of value in everything and in every way for it holds promise for the present life and also for the life which is to come.
