Bodily Exercise Profiteth Little
By: Robert A. Searles
“Bodily exercise profiteth little, but Godliness is profitable unto all
things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to
come.” 1 Timothy 4: 8.
There will not be too much overall profit
gained from the attention we give to our physical bodies, for these
bodies are earthly, carnal, and soon to be returned to the dust from
which they came; but with our soul and inner man it is very profitable
to be Godly and grow and mature in him, that we might be the reflection
of him, and that we might attain unto that place of maturity and
perfection whereby we might truly be called the children of God.
Godliness has the promise of an abundant life now, and a great future
forever in the presence of God. To be carnally minded is death, but to
be spiritually minded is life, joy, and peace.
Oh! Lord! Help
us to have the right and proper balance between the care of our bodies
and the attention we give to them, and the attention that we give to
becoming God like by yielding our complete being to him, by allowing the
Holy Spirit to fashion us into his divine image.
