1 Timothy 4:8

I am in a process in which I am trying to take as loss all the things I cared for before. Sports where a big part of my life. For a moment was an escape from school and other problems. It made me feel good and was driving myself to strive for more. In a certain point training and competing made me focus more and more in myself. In a certain way doing exercise helps my physique, which makes me want to look better so that others would see me. 

Knowing Christ and people in streets, there is a huge urgency for salvation. Salvation for which God has commanded us to go and share with everyone. The more we are close to God and the more we know His word greater blessing we can be to others. Training took several hours a day and made feel tired at the end of it. If I could spend that time with God, reading, or sharing with others with mercy is far way better. In heaven we are not going to have this body of ours, it is in vane for us to care so much for it. Although I believe that this body is the Holy Spirit’s temple and we need to take care of it, but in a extreme way in which we devote ourselves more into that than in our spiritual part. There should be a balance in our lives, too much of only one thing and not caring for other parts is wrong. Being healthy and sharing with people about God is a must for our life. Let us keep our sight in the eternal things and not in the earthly ones, our body will decay and rot someday but there are souls out there that if they don’t hear about Jesus will die in hell.

Application:
Start running for a little while again this week.

1 Corinthians 9:22

What another demonstration of love to our neighbors or to people than to be emphatic with their lives and share with them the gospel? Knowing that God called me to be a disciple and to share the gospel to people has opened my eyes. His calling qualifies me, even though I feel like I am not ready or don’t have enough love for others, I have stopped trying and just letting Him work in me and through me.  Being honest, it is hard for me to be open to all people I face or get to know, but it is even harder when it is people that I know or are my friends. I believe this happens because of my lack of faith in Him. Now that I am in a real relationship with Him, my love and passion has been growing. My heart opens more and more every new time we get to do outreaches or share the gospel.  I can’t love people with my heart, but I can love them with His love. In my strength is hard to lay down and try to talk to everyone, but His faithfulness and passion for them is what makes me move. N

Hebrews 11:1

It seems that for all our lives and during every phase, we humans actually keep on wishing, wanting, and expecting  for something to happen or to come up to. Most of us will be influenced by the circumstances in our lives and the words of other people. It seems that we are constantly under pressure and bombarded with things that we don’t  even expect; like if we would become the person that the circumstances are dictating or what other people  are saying. Our expectations of life and the desires or hopes of our heart are biased to the wrong way.  Hebrews helps us define what faith really is, if we pay close attention. It is faith that is what holds all of these points, letting  us know what really is going wrong is our faith’s direction. We have the steering wheel of our own faith, it is us who  decide where we want it to be anchored or to whom or what we rely it on.  During my life I have been always a dreamer, having life goals, and constantly looking towards the

Luke 21:19

While I was thinking of standing still, a soldier was illustrated in my mind. When a superior calls a soldier to stand still, the soldier must leave whatever he is doing and come up firming his body. Then he has an attitude of listener, because the superior surely has something important to say. After the superior finishes his command, the soldier must wait until he has permitted to “relax”.  We can take certain points out of this illustration. The soldier has attitudes of obedience, service, and discipline. Jesus is our chief in command and we are his soldiers, we have to fight for souls. As any soldier, we need to look sharp and in shape. Otherwise we are going to die. We shall seek Jesus daily to know him more and delight ourselves in Him; so that our faces can reflect Him. Our ears need to be sensible to His voice, in a battle of so much noise and action, confusing a command from a different source will have terrible consequences. Our most important weapon is His word, sharper
