Working out can be tiresome, and for me it's NOT what I live for everyday. I know, some of you love working out. It makes you feel good, gives you an adrenaline rush and you get incredible results. However, some people like me question..."Is it worth it?" We look at ourselves and we don't see any major changes in how we look. Our body aches in way too many places and can you believe no one hasn't even noticed that we lost 5 lbs. Well, of course not. It takes several of those 5 lbs to began to make changes in our bodies.

Isn't that the same question we ask spiritually, "Is it worth it?" I don't see any major changes in my spiritual life. No one has even noticed that I'm trying so hard to live right. My pain seems to be increasing instead of decreasing. Why am I having so many problems. But the truth is, things are changing and you are growing spiritual. You just haven't been able to see it yet. You may be only growing 1-5 lbs spritually at a time, but your are GROWING and the results will eventually be seen.

Bottom line...don't stop working out physcially and spiritually. The results are coming. Just continue to do your part and TRY to be patient. Here's the scripture for today.

"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up"
(Galatians 6:9).

  1. Another encouraging word when we don't see results..."if God is not expanding you wide, he maybe expanding you deep" Dr. Wood said that. I watched it on the AG Home Page (accessed August 27, 2009). He spoke it around 06:40 of the 42:0 minute video titled the highlights of the General Counsel 09.
