How to Get There

(Proverbs 4:20-22)\xa0 \u201cMy son, pay attention to what I say; listen closely to my words.\xa0 Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to a man's whole body.\u201d

1. Discipline.
(Romans 7:21-23)\xa0 \u201cSo I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me.\xa0 For in my inner being I delight in God\u2019s law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members.\u201d

(Hebrews 12:11)\xa0 \u201cNo discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.\u201d

2. Exercise.
(1 Timothy 4:8)\xa0 \u201cFor 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.\u201d

3. Diet.
(1 Corinthians 6:12-13)\xa0 \u201cEverything is permissible for me\u201d--but not everything is beneficial. \u201cEverything is permissible for me\u201d--but I will not be mastered by anything.

4. Rest.
(Psalm 127:2)\xa0 \u201cIn vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat-- for he grants sleep to those he loves.\u201d

(Mark 6:31)\xa0 \u201cCome with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.\u201d

5. God.
(Romans 8:13)\xa0 \u201cFor if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.\u201d

(Proverbs 14:30)\xa0 \u201cA heart at peace gives life to the body\u2026\u201d
