Oh, how I love your law! It is my meditation all day long. Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies, for it is always with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers, for your decrees are my meditation.

I understand more than the aged, for I keep your precepts. I hold back my feet from every evil way, in order to keep your word. I do not turn away from your ordinances, for you have taught me. How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.

Psalm 119:97-104

When we do not exercise our minds and bodies, we will not be fit physically and mentally. We won’t be at our sharpest. In our walks with God we also need to be fit. We fight spiritual battles everyday. And how we respond determines what kind of shape we are in. Do we take the battles in stride, or do we let them get us down? Do you read the Bible, meditate on its truths, and pray each day? If it is time to begin spiritual fitness training.

Spiritual strength requires a training program

of Bible reading and prayer.
