Fit Bit (Reboot & Keep on keeping on!)
We are about mid way through Lent. How are you doing on having a season of
sincerely looking at yourself and cleaning out the old, that doesn’t honor God
and bringing in the new that does?
Today on Bible gateway 1 John 1:9 popped up:
“ If we confess your sins, He is faithful and just to
forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a
liar, and His word is not in us.”
When I read this I started to reflect on my Lent journey and
realized I am falling back into old habits.
It is easy to do. As
a fitness trainer I have seen many people simply give up once they mess up for
a bit. The people that succeed almost
never get it right away. They have a continual
struggle with leaving the old ways behind and putting on the new until one day
the new is more of a habit then the old.
Once in a while you will find someone that changes their life “cold
turkey” but usually it is a constant effort of intentionally turning away and
turning toward.
Don’t give up!! Reboot!!
Confess to the Lord where you are at, repent and ask Him for
His provision to do what you know in your heart is your best way to honor God.
Currently I am taking a class on Bonhoeffer and the holocaust. He reflects on why the Germans and others
could participate in such a horrific slaughter.
Largely, he says that the people
ignored God and followed man.
Your sin is most likely not as horrific as the Holocaust,
but what ever your sin is, if left un-confessed and addressed will erode
you. Today be inspired to Reboot and
keep on keeping on. “ You can do all things through Christ who give you
strength”. Philippians 4:13
Be fit and be blessed,
Kimberly
