2 Corinthians 4:16 – "That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day."
As a young man, I had a mindset that my physical condition should've constantly been improving. I always wanted to be able to look at myself in the mirror at the end of the year and say that I'm better now than what I was a year before.
That worked out well until the age of 55. Now, I'm actually over 65. Looking in the mirror and saying that I'm better now than what I was 12 months ago has become difficult. Simply trying to maintain as I am sliding down life's aged slope has become tough.
Today, as I read today's scripture, it places things in focus for me as a Believer.
My body is no longer improving each year. I am aging. But that is not so important in the grander scheme of my journey as a Christian.
Christ promises that each day, my spirit is renewed. It will constantly continue to grow in the grace of God. It is that spiritual being that will one day have a new body and will live forever in the presence of God.
Today, continue to work on your physical body, but remember to focus on who you really are. You are a spiritual being in Jesus Christ forever.
Stay healthy and have a blessed day!
