Do short-term challenges grab your attention?
The World Vision Global 6K is a 3.73 mile walk that raises money to help the peoples of the world have clean water.
The 100 Push-Ups a Day Challenge raises money for cancer healing research.
Ideally, such challenges go beyond the short-term fitness and fund-raising goals and inspire us to make walking and exercing part of daily life.
The Apostle Paul offered this intriguing observation, “Train yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come." I Timothy 4:7-8
Yes, pay attention to your body, yet even more, pay attention to our soul!
Use short-term spiritual challenges – memorizing a verse of scripture – digging deeply into a Psalm – spending a day in a park with a Bible just reflecting.
