David Cawston
I Timothy 4:7
40 Days of blessing

I Timothy 4:7 (Ph)
"Take the time and the trouble to keep yourself spiritually fit."
To enjoy the fullness of God's Blessings it requires establishing certain habits or disciplines. Disciplines are required to achieve anything worthwhile in life.

"Now that's real automation," said the man. "This thing even drinks it for you." That is just how some people want their faith. They want to make a deposit, put in some money and let the rest be taken care of automatically. But, there is no such thing as automated growth and blessing. A relationship with God requires the effort of personal discipline.

There is value and you can be fit. How can I be spiritually fit? By the exercise of spiritual habits.
There are four indispensable spiritual habits highly effective people have. They've done studies of effective people, successful people, people who hav ...
