Am I Spiritually Fit?
How often do you think about your weight? Every time you get dressed? When you look at yourself in the mirror? When out doing physical activity? When carrying in all the bags of groceries? Admit it, most people think about their weight. Statistics state that one in five Americans have health club memberships. I have one, but rarely do I go. I may go back for a month then stop because I make excuses to cover the fact that I just do not want to do it. There are many statistics out there: Did you know that America is one of the unhealthiest countries in the world. We love fast food, fried food, and junk food. Obesity has skyrocketed in recent decades and shows no signs of slowing down. Even the Bible condemns gluttony Proverbs 23.2 And put a knife to your throat if you are given to gluttony” (NIV). The Proverb writer also tells us if we eat too much, we will get sick. Proverbs 25.16 “If you have found honey, eat only enough for you, lest you have your fill of it and vomit it.” US News says Americans spend a whopping $60 billion a year on weight loss products. Oh, how much time and money we spend on how we look.
