AVOIDING SPIRITUAL ATROPHY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever <\/em>1 Corinthians 9:24-25<\/p>\n

strength\u00b7en <\/strong>verb\u00a0 <\/em>make or become stronger\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 .\"Four<\/p>\n

You probably have found this to be true, that it takes intentional, regular training to develop a skill and strength.\u00a0 The term \u2018practice makes perfect\u2019 is not far off.\u00a0 Running is just an example, it might be sewing, dancing, singing, writing etc.\u00a0\u00a0 Each of these, when regularly practiced according to the training required will result in improvement. And training over time will get easier as we develop muscle memory.<\/p>\n

The same is true spiritually.\u00a0 For example, it takes dedicated, regular, repeated time meeting with the Lord to become better at it. \u201cTeach me to pray\u2026\u201d and He does.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen thou prayest, enter into thine inner chamber, and having shut \u00a0thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret, and thy Father,\u00a0 which seeth in secret shall reward thee<\/em>\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Matthew 6:6<\/p>\n

Being a disciple involves exercising spiritual disciplines with consistency, over time that prove rewarding. For example, meeting with the Lord consistently results in spiritual strengthening as we learn to be intimate with Him.<\/p>\n

The Holy Spirit is our perfect and blessed trainer. But we do have to show up for practice.\u00a0 Spiritual practice is rewarding.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>I was a runner since my early 20\u2019s.\u00a0 I have recently shifted to walking due to some physical maladies. Being a fairly disciplined person I have found at times, that I had to force myself on good days or bad to get out there and hit the pavement. And I have found that after a few weeks, the benefits or rewards become evident and this spurs me on to do it again tomorrow.<\/p>\n

This is true in both the physical and spiritual realm.\u00a0 And so is \u2013<\/p>\n

at\u00b7ro\u00b7phy<\/strong> (verb): \u00a0gradually decline in effectiveness or\u00a0vigo<\/a>r\u00a0due to\u00a0underuse<\/a>\u00a0or neglect<\/p>\n

Atrophy, the loss of muscle or skill is just as real as strengthening. Only the causes are different.<\/p>\n

How frustrating it has been to work hard for many days\/weeks\/months to get in good physical shape to have an injury, illness or life event disrupt may routine. It was amazing to me understanding how hard it was and long it took to get into shape that it was easy and quickly to fall completely out of shape.\u00a0 Healthy habits create healthier choices across the board and this is true spiritually as well.\u00a0 If we wander a bit and go AWOL from God it doesn\u2019t take long to be unintentionally caught up in the undertow of this fallen world. Doing the right thing prevents the doing of the wrong thing.<\/p>\n

We need to build up and maintain our strength.\u00a0 If I need to sprint 100 yards to get help for another, I can\u2019t exercise then.\u00a0 I\u2019ll have to walk. And when a spiritual battle comes our way we will have no time to cram in discipline, we will be unfit for the battle.<\/p>\n

Remember: “Physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.”\u00a0<\/em>1 Timothy 4:8.<\/p>\n

\u201cTherefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses,help me throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let me run with perseverance the race marked out for me, fixing my eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.\u201d \u00a0<\/em>Hebrews 12:1-2<\/p>\n
