Paul said this in 1 Timothy 4:8-9:
8 For physical training is of some value (useful for a little), but godliness (spiritual training) is useful and of value in everything and in every way, for it holds promise for the present life and also for the life which is to come. 9 This saying is reliable and worthy of complete acceptance by everybody.
I don't know about you, but I have a family that LOVES to be physically fit! They eat well, sleep well, run, exercise, lift weights and this "some value" is remarkable in their physical bodies! They are lean, strong, healthy and look really good in what they wear! They have a great outlook on life and very happy attitudes! If this "some value" has such tremendous and easily recognized results, just imagine what kind of results we will get from "godliness" or, as the Amplified Bible says "spiritual training"! Make daily meditation in the Word of God your top priority, along with fellowship with Him in prayer and praise and worship! Begin to put the Word into practice in your life. THIS is "spiritual training"! The results will be seen in you and your light, which never goes out, will shine SO bright! AMEN! Here is Hillsong United with "Light Will Shine":
Shalom in Him!
