Psalm 139: 17 & 18
How precious are your thoughts about me, O God.
They cannot be numbered!
I can’t even count them;
they outnumber the grains of sand!
And when I wake up,
you are still with me!
Wednesday is my volunteer day in the church office. I enjoy the office work and being able to serve in a helpful manner. The people are so kind, friendly and grateful. Around noon I met my sweet husband for lunch. I am so blessed to be married to my best friend. We talked and laughed. I dropped him off about a a mile from his work because he wanted to get some exercise. He is a great example and encouragement to me.
When I arrived home I went for a walk. Even though it was cool, the sun was bright and halfway through my walk I was shedding the jacket. I felt so good when I got home. Last night I did some kettlebelling.
Let me say, sometimes I have a spirit of laziness and unwillingness come over me. Even though I know it would be best for me to get up and exercise, I just sit there procrastinate. Sometimes I put it off so long that I just rationalize that it would be best to wait until tomorrow, but I am so wrong and so deceived. You know that Satan does not want me to be a success. He doesn't want me to desire Godliness and health. He doesn't want me to exercise and get fit and trim. Why? Praise and honor are the Lord's and in my health and fitness, I will bring praise and Glory to God. So, Satan is putting lazy thoughts, and tired thoughts, and procrastinating arguments in my head. I will not let Satan win! I have victory over laziness and procrastination! God's thoughts and will for me is to be saved, healthy, happy, successful, prosperous and much, much more!
Tonight, even though I didn't want to exercise, I did! Afterwards I felt a since of renewed strength. I felt better; tired, but better! Why wouldn't I want to feel better? Why wouldn't I want to look better? So the next time you are making excuses not to exercise, remember that those feelings are not from God! Those are thoughts of defeat, failure, and lies from Satan. He delights in my failure. Instead, call upon the name of the Lord for your strength. Pull yourself up and get moving!
