Beware of The Chair. Part [12] 06/11/2025 (Morning thought)

1st Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be you steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

[1] Be consistent. One of the issues we face in adopting any exercise regimen is that of consistency. We start and stop too often, so that the benefits of exercise are not given the needed time in order to materialize. Therefore, rather than start something that you cannot finish, it will be best to think and pray about it carefully. Then after careful planning, you can come up with a strategy that works best for you.

However, the most important part will be doing it regularly without fail. Every little bit of movement counts, and combining strength training and aerobic activity produces the best results. If you decide that twenty, or thirty minutes every day is all you could practically spare, then do it faithfully, because if you incorporate it as a lifestyle change, your body would respond in the positive in most cases. Persons who succeed in their endeavors are always those who do what they do consistently, and if you were to do your exercise regimen long enough, and consistent enough, you will succeed in your goals.

[2] Never wait for the beginning of the new year. Individuals who wait until the new year to start their exercise will most likely fail in their efforts, for if you keep putting off for another day, that which should be done today, procrastination would in most cases take a heavy toll on you. It is stated that the devil needed a strategy that will work best in bringing down persons. Some demons suggested this, some suggested that, and finally one came up with the idea of causing persons to put off for tomorrow, that which could and should be done today.

Hebrews 3:7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, Today if you will hear his voice, 8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

Beware of The Chair. Part [11] 06/11/2025 (Evening thought)

Genesis 2:8 And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. 15 And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

When God created Adam and Eve, He put them to work in the garden of Eden, where their limbs, and bones, muscles and tendons, together with all their arteries and blood vessels could be exercised. And even after man fell by transgression, the toils and labor required to work an increasingly stubborn soil would cause him to exert much more energy and effort, but the upside is that the manual labor thus required would go a long way in maintaining good health and longevity as well as mitigating the many perils incidental to our fallen human nature.

Hence the reason why, even after man sinned, you will find that individuals lived for hundreds of years, and it was only because of the constant and the deliberate violation of physical, and spiritual laws, that we gradually declined to three score and ten…. [Christian Education, pp 68] There is an intimate relation between the mind and the body; they react upon each other. In order, to reach a high standard of moral and intellectual attainment, and to secure a strong, well-balanced character, the laws that control our physical being must be heeded.

Both the mental, and the physical powers must be developed. Such a training will produce men of strength and solidity of character, of keen perception and sound judgment, men who will be an honor to God and a blessing to the world. “Therefore, in our efforts to get moving again there are a few pointers that would greatly help us on our journey. They are outlined below in simple format, and if adopted, would go a long way in reversing, or in slowing the advance of many physical issues folks suffer with.

Genesis 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
