Faith and Fitness Sunday

Philipians 4:13 says "I can do everything through Christ who strenghtens me"


I went to a different church today since my kids who go to preschool there were singing. The minister alluded to this passage and said you can do anything with Christ's help...this is true to a degree...we can't fly but we can do things that are outlined in the Bible for us--like helping our brother or sister. 
The same goes for fitness--I have stretch goals...like someday I  want to bench 300 pounds but I know that I probably won't ever bench 400.  We're given different body make ups and God intended them all for His good purpose.  We need to examine ourselves, then find our limits and our strengths and find how God wants us to use our bodies.  At the very minimum we do need to maintain a healthy lifestyle by eating right and exercising.  But challenge yourselves today and ask what you can do beyond that?  Be healthy this week, God bless!
