1st John 2:17 And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abides for ever.
The problem with the “In Thing” is that it is always going through a metamorphosis, so that what is in today would be out tomorrow. And therefore, if a person feels accepted or valued, based upon their subscription to the in thing, they would soon find themselves in the unfortunate situation of having to constantly succumb to the winds of change.
Body building, big muscles, six pack abs, body sculpting, and figure eights do not add any value to any person; not in God’s sight, and not in reality. Now brethren we will want you to not only consider what is being said, but also by whom it is being said. Exercise is good on several different levels, for it is a known fact that it can stave off many diseases, and ailments, especially as persons approach the golden years.
In addition, it’s actually a part of the health message which includes diets, and foods, water, faith in God, sunshine and yes, regular exercise etc. But in reality, the truth of the matter is that with all of a man’s big muscles and with all of one’s body sculpting a man’s or a woman’s value does not go either up, or down with these things, not in God’s sight.
Psalms 147: 10 He delights not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man. 11 The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
