Flex!
Posted by Lev/Christopher on September 26, 2009 at 12:57pm in Inspirations / Devotionals
Hebrews 5:13-14 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
During the 1970's on a famous U.S. television talk show, host Merv Griffin interviewed a body builder. During the interview, Merv asked “Why do you develop those particular muscles?” The body builder simply stepped forward and flexed a series of well-defined muscles from chest to calf. The audience went wild. "What do you use all those muscles for?", Merv asked. Again, the muscular specimen flexed, and biceps and triceps sprouted to impressive proportions. "But what do you USE those muscles for?" Merv persisted. The body builder was bewildered. He didn’t have an answer other than to display his well-developed frame.
Hmm. Made me think about our spiritual muscles. Have we even developed them at all? Are they only for show?
With each year that passes, we should be able to say that we have grown in our faith. We should be able to say that we love Yahweh and others more today than we ever have before. If we can’t say that, we’re not growing in Him. It’s hard to hear but it’s true.
I know my heart is convicted. How about yours? Let’s start devoting ourselves to some spiritual body building today! With so much work to be done, let's be sure we're becoming stronger to tackle the challenges ahead!
