1 Timothy 4:8 [KJV]
For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
Exercise is never easy, or sweet. It involves a lot of pain, sweating and fatigue. But with enough rest, consistency and drive; it will eventually bear fruit. Likewise, spiritual exercise is tideous, painful and oftentimes frustrating; but eventually, it bears fruit! So don't give up on prayer! Don't give up on studying the Word! Push on! Keep on exercising yourself unto godliness. It shall bear fruit.
Have a great week ahead!
