V mojem življenju, Sem šel skozi letne čase, ko sem bila res motivirana za delo,. Ko sem bila v srednji šoli, sem želel biti dovolj, da bi naredil vtis dekleta buff (ni I). V mesecih pred mojo poroko sem poskušal delati na moji medeni plaži telo. Te dni, Poskušam se prepričajte, da živim mimo mojih dvajsetih. Moji motivi so se spremenile v zadnjih letih, ampak kaj se ni spremenilo, je, kako muhastega so ti motivi.
Morda ste seveda motivirani za delo izven krik ven, da prijatelji, ki objavljajo slike in video posnetke njihovega režima usposabljanja vsak dan. Ampak, če ste kot jaz, vaši motivi gredo gor in dol kot otrok na trampolinu. Kaj pa, če se rezultati vašega dela iz trajala večno, čeprav? Bi bili bolj motivirani?
Trdo delo splača
V zadnjem mesecu zimskih olimpijskih igrah sem bil v strah, ko sem gledal strele hitre bobsledders in highflying snegu. Navdušila me je s svojo atletsko odličnosti, vendar sem bil še bolj navdušen, ko sem razmišljal o discipliniran usposabljanja, ki jih mora sprejeti do tja.
Ob koncu vsakega dogodka, ko je zmagoviti športniki stal na stopničke dobitnikov, z nasmehi na obrazih in medalje počiva na prsih, so bili izkoriščanje prednosti njihovega usposabljanja. Ampak glede na Sveto pismo, obstaja boljša vrste usposabljanja, ne zato, ker fizično usposabljanje je ničvredno, ampak zato, ker je omejena.
Če ste se kdaj spraševali, kaj Bog misli o vadbo, tukaj je odgovor: On misli, da je koristno, vendar omejeno, vrednost. Torej, medtem ko delate, delaš vaje, in dvigovanje uteži, počitek na znanje, da je to dobra stvar. Vodenje vaše telo v dobri formi, je pohvalno, tudi pametno, ampak to je samo še spraviti doslej.
To je tisto, kar je rekel apostol Pavel Timoteju:
"Ampak nimajo nič opraviti s nespoštljiva in neumno mitov. Precej, trenirajte v pobožnosti, za usposabljanje telesa ima omejene koristi, vendar pobožnost je koristna v vseh pogledih, saj ima obljubo za sedanje življenje in tudi za življenje, da pridejo." (1 Timothy 4:7-8)
Lahko bi povzeli Pavel misli na delo takole: Fizični trening je dobra, ampak duhovno usposabljanje je bolje. In to zato, ker fizična moč je začasna, medtem ko pobožnost je večen. Ko Pavel govori o "usposabljanje za pobožnosti" Mislim, da pomeni delati stvari, ki bi si duhovno močnejši. To pomeni, da se ukvarjajo z dejavnostmi, ki se boste bolj pobožno. Mogoče dvigovanje naše Sveto pismo je še manj zaželen kot dvigovanje uteži, ampak jo zanemarili pomeni, da smo zamudili več kot dobro zdravje.
Vedno je boljši od A Moment
Vsi vemo, da če nekaj traja dlje, da je bolj zaželeno. Nihče ne kupi avto, vedoč, da bo razčleniti naslednji mesec. Mi bi raje kupil nekaj, kar traja nekaj časa, ker bomo dobili več od naložb. Ampak, če si jo tako izračunana z odločitvami o avtomobilih, koliko bolj izračuna bi morali biti o naših duš?
Kako pogosto razmišljate o večnosti? Resnica je, bi morali razmišljati o tem več kot mi. Ni dvoma, da bomo vsi živeli večno; Vprašanje je, kaj bo za vedno, kot. Zato moramo narediti naložbe zdaj, vedoč, da posledice ne bo nikoli konec.
To naj bi vplivalo na kaj moramo osredotočiti na iz dneva v dan. Športi so dobri, ampak oni ne vse. Vaš fizična moč vas lahko dobili v šoli, vendar vas ne bo prišel v nebesa. Vi bi morali dobro skrbi za svoje telo, vendar imamo nekaj merjenje debeline, da skrbi za. Kako zdrava je vaša duša?
Kako Train
Bog nam omogoča izgradnjo "duhovne mišice", ko smo izpustil greha in zgrabi drži Jezusa. In potem se nam pošlje v telovadnici. Dal nam je milostno dal besedo, njegovi ljudje, in celo njegovo uho. Torej, kaj je prebral, štipendija, in molijo. Športniki vlak težko, ker želijo biti pripravljeni na igro ali tekmo pred njimi. Želijo si, da bi lahko konkurirali na visoki ravni.
Vse nas bo obraz duhovne testi, poskusi, in bitke vsak dan. Ali ste pripravljeni? Prostem teku ne deluje za športnike in ne bo šlo za kristjane. Lanskoletni Sveto pismo branje ni dovolj, da vas ohranjajo v tem letu. Naredili bomo le tako preko tega maratona po božji milosti, ampak on nas pripravi na dirko preko naše duhovne vaje.
To je koristno za mene, da se spomnimo, da medtem ko so koristi telesne vadbe omejen, prednosti duhovne usposabljanja so neomejene. V teh dneh, ko se ne počutim kot moli ali bere Božjo Besedo, Sem se lahko spomnil, da je korist ni majhna ali začasno. To ne bo samo pomagal mi naslednji teden, da mi bo pomagal pri naslednjem življenju. To je vse, motivacija rabim.
This truly blessed me…!!!Thank YOU!!& Bog vas blagoslovi….thank you for allowing the lord to use you.
Thanks for this good word, izlet.
Trip thank you for this. For the past week I’ve been fearing death. I don’t know why but I do. I really needed to be reminded that heaven is the best thing ever and this earth won’t get me anything.
This is awesome! Thanks fam! You a beast!
Thanks for this bit of encouragement! It is easy for some of us to become obsessed with eating healthy and exercising. But do you spend more time planning your meals and at the gym, than in times of prayer and study of the Word? It’s easy to have your priorities messed up, even on the mission field.
Blessings in Christ to all!
strinjam se. The spiritual fitness/exercise is FAR more important than any physical fitness/exercise, but I ALSO believe that both can be done at the same time as well. I know there is a fine line between working out for yourself and working out for God, but there is a difference (believe it or not). Working out for God, physically, includes the spiritual element. For instance, when you have a workout partner, you two talk periodically when you workout together. Imagine if, when you two talk, it isn’t about a pump, your muscles, etc. Namesto, when you talk, speak from your heart, and have fellowship with one another in Christ. The physical working out may be a common interest for those in the gym, but if you add the spiritual aspect, your fitness with go to an unearthly level (right where we are supposed to be), spreading the love of Christ. Kološanom 3:17
It amazes me how The Lord speaks in so many different ways. I was wrestling with the thought of “I should work out today” but was feeling like I fail at this area over and over again and somewhat feel it can be wasted time if it’s not something continuous in my life. Reading this blog was a reminder from God that He>I and when I focus on Him and train spiritually, I feel so much better and trust that it’s not time wasted. I think staying healthy is important but I know that digging into His word and seeking him is well worth every second of our life. Time with God is never wasted. Thanks for being obedient to what Christ has called you to share. I needed this. God bless You and your family Trip!
Absolutely, every single second is worth it. Glad you could be encouraged!
Good stuff bro
hej izlet, ummm thats deeply motivating byitself
Man this is awesome stuff, I love what you stand for. I love learning from your teachings in your music and now your book “Dobro življenje”.
THANK YOU!
Glad you could be encouraged. And I hope the book can be helpful for you in many ways!
To je bilo super. The two things I hope to gain and retain this year and yet I struggle with the one that is far more important than the other. Hvala Trip, your timely blogs have been very inspiring, and they constantly point me back to Superstar.
Bro this is what I needed. I’ve been struggling and fighting with the spirit for the last couple of days. Just forgot to pray, read my bible, and even go to church. This is a wake up call. From now on I’m a changed man in Christ. I even thought God will n longer listen to me because of my ungodly life. Jesus died on the cross for me and I know I’m always welcome in his presence and he is just and faithful to forgive me from my sins.
Bro I thank God for your life and the great work he he’s doing through you. God bless you for accepting his works.
Stay blessed my brother.
Point well taken! Hvala! =o)
blessed and motivated by this. Hvala Trip!
Trip your posts always reach me at the perfect time. Keep letting God work through you my friend
Definitely needed this bro. Thanks for the encouragement.
deeeeep struff TRiP, not something we usually talk about. Prosimo, keep your posts coming.
So true..
This is my life that i am adapting myself in to, God Bless y Trip!!
AMEN.
Right on time brother. Hvala! Bog vas blagoslovi!
amen. Thank you for sending this message. We all need it. Hvali Boga.
God bless you for this.. I pray you find motivation and encouragement in yur time of need… amen
Good Stuff. Great verse.
Thanks for your faithfulness to The Lord trip. I think you need to write a second book.
I think this is very relevant in our culture today. How often do you see people at the gym for hours? izlet, I work at the YMCA and I see the same people day in and day out for at least an hour of working out, but generally more than that. And it gets you thinking, there’s probably a lot of Christians that come into my Y (We’re the largest in Indiana), so how many of them are spending 1-2 hours a day engaging themselves in spiritual activity? This is relevant to me because it’s the call out I needed to get back in shape physically and spiritually. Thank you brother.
Bog požegnaj,
Logan Long
amen, thanks for the reminder!
This is a word on time! Bog požegnaj!
zdravo,
This is a word-for-a-season. In a culture there are so many social pressures to look good and for guys to be fit and ‘buff’, we can get so caught up in what we think we should be like, in what others tell us we need to look like.
Saying that God thinks that workouts have limited value is spot on, compared to the eternity we can spend with God.
This reminds me of David’s story when he is anointed king by Samuel 1 Samuel 16). God says in verse 7, “People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
Bless you,
Josh
Really encouraging Trip! Anything that gets me closer to God truly brings me happiness and strengthen me! So thank you man. I really appreciate you. I’ll keep praying for you :)
Trip I am big into working out, but I have to remind myself to read this post every once in a while. Helps keep me focused on what really matters
Wow as a fellow blogger I love the content of this. I am a workout buff but it comes easier than sometimes finding the time to pick up my Word daily. I then wonder why I don’t stand up to trials like I should. Awesome reminder. Hvala Trip
This is really encouraging and it has been something that’s been on my mind. I don’t read my Bible everyday, in fact, I could go for 2 ali 3 days without getting in touch with God’s Word…but now I know that I’m denying myself eternal benefits. It means so much to me that what I read today will help me next week or next month. I can’t rely on what I did last year, or last week…I’m working out for my eternity!!
Godliness has value for ALL THINGS holding promise for both the present life and the life to come!
Hvala Trip Lee, for letting God work through you…Imma read the Word more! :)
Love this post! I love exercise & I love God but I know that my spiritual fitness is my priority.
<3
that was awesome message Trip, I have always wondered whether working out is wrong or not or simply unnecessary. Your analysis clears the air on that one. Thanx, keep BRAGING BRO!!
