And as for you, brethren, do not become weary or lose heart in doing right [but continue in well-doing without weakening.] 2 Thessalonians 3:13
As I left my local gym the other morning, I felt pretty sore from a strenuous workout. I couldn't help but recall that it was not too terribly long ago that you wouldn't have found me anywhere close to a gym, jogging, working out, or doing anything physical, for that matter. The physical activity that I consistently do on a daily basis provides a great analogy for our Spiritual lives as well.
God’s Word teaches us that we must be alert, cautious, and active. The enemy knows this well and knows that inactivity is the only way to defeat a believer. Sometimes, the only way to resist the devil is by continuously moving against him. We can get into some big trouble when we become passive or lazy in our efforts.
Too many believers want the good life, but they are passively sitting around wishing their lives away, hoping that something good will happen to them. If you truly want the life Christ intended you to have, keep on moving and don’t give up!
We are all created with a void that can only be filled by the Holy Spirit and with Him, we can rest assured that we are never alone!
