STAYING FIT
There are many good reasons to try to stay fit. The body needs some maintenance as does the mind, spirit and soul.
One of the reasons I try to work out is mentioned by Jesus in this text, “Which of you, having a son or an ox that has fallen into a well on a Sabbath day, will not immediately pull him out?” (Luke 14:5)
Man, I would hate it if I could not help pull my kids, my wife, dog, ox, neighbor, friend, brother, sister, mother-in-law… or whoever out of a well if they have fallen into one. The well could be a water well, or a mental well, or a spiritual well. If one is in a well it does not matter what kind it is. Fitness for any well is true fitness. A well can be hell.
Time to get over on my side of the pond and hit the gym…or was it the study gym…or was it the prayer gym or the soul gym?
“If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly bright, as when a lamp with its rays gives you light.” Jesus
