Run the Race

Run the Race
Let us run with patience the race that is set before us
(Ibrani 12:1)

Life is a race! It’s not a 100 meters sprint, but a marathon. So, let’s make sure that we have a great endurance...(You don’t want to pass out after reaching 200 meters, do you?).
* Let's have a good endurance! Both spiritually and physically. So anytime God asks us to go anywhere, to do anything, we’re ready. If God asks us to go to a remote area in India, Mindanao, Bhutan, or any rural areas which will need much endurance to reach it, we’re ready. If God asks us to join a conference in Hillsong Church, we’re more than ready... (hahaha...of course!)
It’s true that we must not rely on our own strength. (“Not by Might, not by power, but by My Spirit,” said the Lord), but in my opinion, we also need to prepare ourselves daily, for anything God will ask us to do.
* Get in shape! Have a good physical and spiritual condition. If we have a good physical condition but we’re dying spiritually....it’s pathetic. But if we have a good spiritual condition, but physically weak, we can not go out to spread the love of God to this dying world.

Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, so let’s maintain it well. We better not ruin or damage it. It's been bought by Jesus's blood, and it's very...very inpensive beyond measure :)
Let's have a healthy life style. At least, get exercise at least for 20 minutes, 3 days a week.

We can work out and have fun at the same time...
For example:
-Walking your dog around your areas --> burns 150 calories/30 minutes
- Cycling outdoor --> burns 300 calories/ 30 minutes.
- Swimming in the sea, lake, etc --> burns 200-300 calories/30 minutes
- Ballroom/Latin dancing (oh my goodness, I love this one!) --> burns 200 calories/ 30 minutess
- Jogging --> burns 300 calories/30 minutes

If you "don't have time" to do that, at least get active, choose using stairs instead of elevator (especially when you'll go to the 80th floor...hahaha)

What do you think, dear readers?
Peace!
