Profitable Training! (part 3 of 14)

Physical training helps us to build up our STRENGTH. As we exercise day-by-day, the STRENGTH continues to gradually build. Every little bit helps!

Through our continued training in godliness, we not only gain personal STRENGTH, but we also find great STRENGTH beyond ourselves.

Solomon stated. . .
"(10) THE NAME OF THE LORD IS A STRONG TOWER; THE RIGHTEOUS MAN RUNS INTO IT AND IS SAFE." ( Proverbs 18:10 ESV)

To the church at Ephesus, Paul wrote. . .
"(18) having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, (19) and what is THE IMMEASURABLE GREATNESS OF HIS POWER TOWARD US WHO BELIEVE, according to the working of his great might (20) that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places," ( Ephesians 1:18-20 ESV)

Better than being able to do lots of pull ups or push ups is the STRENGTH to keep our faith up through difficult times. As we continue to look to God we receive His sustaining POWER to uphold our life and keep us safe for the eternity He has in store.

Have a great day BEING STRONG IN THE LORD!
