Exercise Brings
Healing
Day 308
“Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that
all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well” (3 John
1:2).
You have probably not paid too much attention to your
exercise habits (or lack thereof!). Regular exercise is an important part of
your healing. Exercise contributes not only to your physical wellness, but also
to your mental and spiritual health.
Choose an exercise that you are likely to stick with. Keep
in mind that it is good for you to get out of the house. You might enjoy
walking, swimming, dancing, or basketball. Find out what sports activities are
available in your community.
“I’ve gone into an exercise program,” says Kay, whose
brother died, “and I feel much better. I walk every day, three miles a day. I
walk early in the morning, right at daylight. It gives me time to think and
time to pray.”
God has entrusted you with your body to care for it.
“Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy
Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own”
(1 Corinthians 6:19).
Holy Spirit,
exercising regularly seems like an impossible feat sometimes. Help me to start
an exercise plan and remain faithful to it. Amen.
