The other day I was sitting in my car in the parking lot outside of the gym waiting for my son. Besides the gym there is a wine and spirit shop. I happen to enjoy people watching. As I sat watching people entering and leaving both the gym and the Wine and Spirit Shop an intriging thought began to enter my mind.
The people who left both places had similiar thoughts. They were both seeking ways to uplift both their minds and their bodies. We often have our own ideas about what is best for us. Sometimes we can get very creative in seeking solutions to ease our troubled bodies and minds.
Those who leave the gym know that there's nothing better to help shed those few extra pounds than a few minutes in a spin class or a good run a on a trusty treadmill.
I myself find exercise to be a great way to relax and release those natural endorphins that God created in us to to give us a natural sense of well-being.
However, there is only one proven method that is 100% affective in giving us the peace that comes without understanding. There's nothing like a drink from the living water himself or running the good race of persistence like Paul.
My faith and hope lie in knowing that my Lord and Savior is the source of my strength and comfort. He strenghtens my mind, body and soul. So where ever you go, what ever you do remember what Colossians 3:2 tells us, "Set your minds on things above, not on earthy things and you will have the peace of the Lord who surpases the peace of all your understanding.
