14 Days to Integrating Faith and Fitnessಮಾದರಿ
Go All In
In Jeremiah 29:13, God says, "You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.” What’s the key here to seeking and finding God? Searching with all of your heart.
I remember my pursuit to get a new personal record on my deadlift. I’d failed at a new, heavier weight for months. So I began to tweak my warmups, my hydration, and my explosiveness. I researched, and talked with skilled Olympic lifters. I was relentless in my pursuit to hit that next lift. And I didn’t give up, even when everyone around me was lifting more.
To search for God with all of your heart is similar. It takes effort. You’re going to sweat, and maybe even cry a little. You may have to research and ask others for help. But the feeling of finding God is unlike anything else. Just like with my deadlift, if I’d quit early, I wouldn’t have seen the results I was looking for.
Don’t give up!
What are some spiritual disciplines you can build into your life that will help you seek God with all of your heart? Here are a few:
- Reading and meditating on Scripture
- Prayer
- Solitude
- Corporate worship
- Private worship
- Memorizing Scripture
- Community (doing life with other Jesus followers)
- Sitting under Biblical teaching
Which of these do you need to renew a focus on in this season? In your pursuit to integrate faith and fitness, don’t give up too early on these disciplines.
