Good analogy and often true. And it just occured to me another precept.
You know how every January 1 folks make a resolution to exercise and get
back in shape? And so they half heartedly go to the gym, hop on a bike,
plug in a headset, and away they go, and it lasts for maybe a month or two
and they then get too busy or otherwise lose interest? Let that not be our
desire, but rather a lifetime commitment to keeping in shape and working
out those muscles. Spiritual Hulks.

Hi Everyone,
I have heard it said, as an illustration of this truth, that it is like
spiritual muscles.  The more you read, the more you will want to read, the
more you pray the more you will want to pray, and the more you praise and
worship, the more you will want to praise and worship.
So let's keep exercising our spiritual muscles, and ask the Lord to make
us
strong for the days to come.

Vinny
