26 April 2025: GROWING THROUGH SPIRITUAL EXERCISES – 1 Timothy 4:7-8; Hebrews 12:11

Your spirit grows stronger and more effective through consistent spiritual exercises. Paul encouraged Timothy in 1 Timothy 4:7-8: “But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things.” Spiritual exercises such as prayer, fasting, and Bible study are disciplines that develop your inner strength and equip you for greater spiritual impact.

Spiritual exercises are essential to your growth, just as physical exercises are to your physical health. Regular engagement in spiritual disciplines strengthens your spirit, making you spiritually alert and responsive. The absence of disciplined spiritual practice leaves your spirit weak and ineffective, unable to handle life’s pressures adequately.

Hebrews 12:11 reminds us, “Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.”

Although spiritual exercises require discipline and can initially feel demanding, they ultimately produce fruitfulness, maturity, and divine alignment in your life.

Decide today to commit yourself afresh to spiritual exercises like prayer, studying the Word, meditation, and fasting. Prioritise them as vital parts of your daily routine. Through consistent spiritual exercises, your spirit becomes strong, stable, and capable of fulfilling God’s divine assignment for your life.

THOUGHT TO PONDER: How consistently do you engage in spiritual exercises? What new spiritual discipline will you commit to practicing regularly from today?

PRAYER: Lord, grant me the discipline and commitment to consistently engage in spiritual exercises. Strengthen my spirit, enabling me to live effectively and purposefully for You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
