It's all about muscles. Or in another illustration, it's all about habits. Whatever the case, it's pathways. No, no...it's about consistency. Yes, it's about consistency. It's all about going from theorizing, talking about, writing about to just plain doing. I finally got fed up about my physicality and hired a trainer. Yes, I am now eating cleaner and pushing this body through the hurdles. Since beginning the self campaign of being healthier, it's been an off and on journey (courtesy of two weeks of travelling). My trainer stressed consistency. Um, yes, I definitely need to do that, so I purposed in my heart that I couldn't just do 3 days a week in the gym, I would to do 6 (I am on day 4) since if I am going to make it a habit of exercising, I need to make a serious habit. I am starting to see my endurance increase, and to see those muscles defining...

...and it was the muscles part that got me this morning as I was reading Isaiah 40. God saying For I, the LORD your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, 'Fear not, I will help you". Ah, okay, well Jesus, I definitely need help with my spiritual muscles. Right, I need to spend more time expanding those muscles. And of course, this made more sense to me in this current frame of physicality.

So, I need to schedule more time in lifting my mental muscles in reading and studying the WORD. Makes sense, even more so in light of what I am doing in the physical realm.
