2/9/11- "The Workout Theory"

Ok so this post today is something that I thought of and to me it seemed like a good way to organize what I wanted to say.  So "The Workout Theory,"  basically everyone wants to look good so they feel good about themselves, so they are healthy and so that others think they look good.  So people will watch what they eat, they will train and make sure they set time aside just so they can train and accomplish these things.  People do it because you see results, and the minute you see results you become motivated even more and work out even harder so you see the results faster.  With that happening you build confidence, and higher self esteem, which means you are in a better mood, a joy to be around, etc.
   So i am going to take this deeper now.  Let's get spiritual, wait let me get even deeper, let's get to talking about a "relationship with Jesus."  Everyone thinks just the fact that you "know about Jesus" is good enough.  Everyone has heard about the price paid and has a basic understanding of what it is all about but why settle??  That is like just working out the bare minimum and dieting the bare minimum, what happens is that you won't see the results and when you don't see them you get discouraged and give up and you aren't motivated to even try harder so you just settle with a basic routine because it is the easy way.  Now what if you explored a deeper more intimant relationship with jesus, actual good time invested with him.  Daily talking to him, reading the Bible , studying devotionals, attending church, spending time with godly people, preaching to people about jesus, etc. What would happen is that the Holy Spirit would ignite in you with such a flame that you would understand even more and want and yearn for even more.  You would get more hungry for the word and you will not settle because it makes you feel more alive and you actually understand what Jesus wants for you and what you are promised. 
  People invest so much time with the "outward" appearance and will always set time aside to accomplish that so they see maximum results, why priorities so mixed up?  When you work out you have to make sure you do it everyday because if you start missing a few days, then you become un-motivated and stop doing it.  Same goes for when you start becoming more intimant with our savior, if you don't set time aside and do it everyday then you will stop doing it and become discouraged and lose focus.  So it needs to be a daily thing, it is SOOO important to have a relationship with Jesus so it should be number one to set time aside everyday to be with him and study the word, that is the only truth in this world of lies from the devil.  So cling on to the only truth.  I know that since the Bible is the only true thing in this world, then why do people not read it??  I sure as heck want to know what the truth is and learn more and more about it. 
  So the "workout theory" is as simple as this.  Do it everyday!! Since people are so involved into making it a priority to look good and they don't miss a day, get into that routine with Lord.  Do it everyday!!!
