Spiritual and Physical Health!

So for a while now I have been working out. I’m not going to lie, I have gained a lot of muscle but have only lost a few pounds. This mostly has to do with my unhealthy eating habits. Nonetheless I am healthier than I used to be but not at the place that I should be.
So for a while now I have been trying to get closer to God. I have been reading the word a bit more, not praying enough and my spiritual life reflects it. Nonetheless I am healthier than I used to be but not at the place that I should be.
The past few weeks I have been noticing that there is a huge similarity between our spiritual health and our physical health. Aside from the fact that the spirit and body depend on each other and the fact that both deal with a lack of discipline, I want to discuss a few of the similarities.
So let’s say you have lived a few years enjoying the good life. You eat what you want, drink what you want, and you don’t exercise. Then one day you decide to step on a scale and you realize that although you once had your weight under control, you have now lost control and gained some excess weight! Its that moment of self reflection that you realize, I have to go on a diet! Likewise when you notice that there is too much junk in your life that is enslaving you, you make a choice to repent!
Repentance is HUGE in the process. Both Spiritual and physical health. Repentance simply defined as turning 180 degrees and going in the opposite direction than you were going. You can’t desire to lose weight or get spiritually healthy without stopping and turning around. AND you can’t hold on to anything from the past!
Let me explain. Let’s say you try to lift weights and not run. Guess what will happen? You will not lose weight, you will gain muscle. I compare this to reading the word without praying. You will gain knowledge but you won’t necessarily lose the excess of sin due to the lack of conviction of the holy spirit.
Let’s say you run but you don’t lift. You will lose weight but you won’t gain any muscle. That is like when you pray but you don’t read the word. You will definitely get closer to God, you will gain his heart his peace, but you won’t be able to quote scripture, you might end up being led by emotion rather than scripture tested spirit led direction.
What I am trying to say is that you need to lift, eat well and do cardio to lose weight. You need to read the bible, pray and… well, watch what you eat, I guess that would be compared to fasting, you need to fast. You need all three of these in order to grow in the spirit, if not you will be spiritually fat.
What do you guys think??
