1 TIMOTHY 4:8
"Physical training is good, but training for Godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and the life to come."
Do you work out every day? Are you involved in some kind of physical training program that requires your time and effort on a regular basis? Are you attempting to keep your body young and beautiful? How much time do you spend each day training for Godliness? Are you putting forward the same effort for spiritual training that you do for physical training?
Physical training has value to this earthly body, but only for the small amount of time you are here on earth. Spiritual training for Godliness is even more useful and of greater value to you and will effect you eternally. Spiritual training holds promise for this life as well as eternally. Your earthly body will terminate no matter what physical training you do, or how hard you try to preserve it. Your heavenly body is eternal and all your spiritual training will not be lost and will be profitable to you for the future. Where do you think we should spend our time?
Think of reading scripture as a workout to improve your Godliness. Think of attending church and hearing sermons as mind and spirit building. Learn what God's laws and prophets tell us and learn to grow as a child of God. God's word is our daily bread and nourishes our spirit. The more of this you eat the greater your sustenance and the more healthy you will be spiritually.
Where should you spend part of your day, that will lead to the greatest reward? SPIRITUAL TRAINING JUST DO IT!
