b'When we exercise regularly, our muscles grow stronger and our whole body becomes healthier. On the other hand, lack of exercise leads to muscle weakness and poor health. It\\u2019s like the old saying goes: \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153use it or lose it.\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d In 1 Timothy 4, Paul says that bodily exercise is beneficial, but training in godliness is even more important. Paul cautions Timothy about false teachings and urges him to share the truth with brothers and sisters in Christ. In my own life, I want to know and follow the truth, and I\\u2019ve developed a daily habit that really helps me.\\nThe first thing I do in the morning after getting up (and before starting any chores) is to spend some time alone with God in prayer. Then I read a few verses from the Bible, and throughout the day I endeavor to keep on meditating on the Scriptures I read in the morning. Later in the day\\u2014usually right before I go to sleep\\u2014I read a longer passage from the Bible. I\\u2019ve found that this exercise of reading and meditating on the Bible helps me mainly in two ways:\\n1) It helps me keep my mind from meandering into unhealthy areas.\\n2) When I\\u2019m facing a tough situation or a challenge and I need God to intervene, verses or Scripture passages I\\u2019ve read and memorized come welling up from my heart. Often, these verses speak into my particular situation, and I realize God is giving me help and guidance.\\nAs I\\u2019ve focused and acted on God\\u2019s Word, I\\u2019ve seen good and godly results and solutions in my life. This daily practice of spending time in the Bible has helped me learn to sense the Holy Spirit\\u2019s leading as He illuminates Scriptures in my heart. As I\\u2019ve pondered God\\u2019s Word day after day, my knowledge of His truth has grown. And as I respond to the truth with faith in my Lord Jesus Christ, my walk with Him grows stronger. \\u2022 Charity M. Kiregyera\\n\\u2022 Have you ever experienced a time when something from the Bible helped you in your own life? \\n\\u2022 Do you have any habits for reading the Bible? Do you find these habits helpful, or would you like to try something new? \\n\\u2022 While it\\u2019s important to spend time alone with God, it\\u2019s also important to be in community with fellow believers. Who are trusted Christians in your life you can talk to about the Bible? \\nTrain yourself in godliness. For the training of the body has limited benefit, but godliness is beneficial in every way, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come. 1 Timothy 4:7b-8 (CSB)\\n\\xa0\\nRead Verses:\\nPs.13|Ps.63.6-Ps.63.8'
