in shape.

today was my first game back at basketball for this year... it was a good game... but afterwards i am sore... i have sore legs muscles, and a nice wood burn on my leg... I was thinking about why my muscles were sore, and it is because i haven't done any real exercise for about 3 weeks, i haven't been disciplined to go out and exercise ... i was out of shape... not used to it.  If i had been disciplined and excercised during the break, the game would of been a lot easier and i would not have pulled up sore afterwards.
This got me thinking about our spiritual life... we got to be disciplined, other wise we end up spiritually unfit... which would mean we wouldn't hear God as clearly and fall to temptation and attacks of the emeny more often...  
How ever if we disciplined ourselves to spend time with God, to pray, read the bible, and spend time with other Christians in fellowship... we become spiritually in shape, the more time with God we have, the more that we surrender to Him the more spiritually fit we become.  We not only learn the promises of God, but we also claim them in Christ.  And the more disciplined we are with spending time with Christ, the more we want to...
