*When they are USED they bring results.
*When they just take up space they are no better than a hat rack
*We spend our money on them
*We research different versions to do different things and hit different targets
*We compare ours with others
I have known people who know the Scripture for memory but it has made no difference in their life
I also know people who can tell you everything you would want to know about the "diet world" who are grossly overweight.
How sad. The fact is that we can totally fool ourselves into thinking that we are ok, and just like the pounds that attach to us one at a time when we stop exercising so also we see the little sins and compromises that begin to appear in a life that does not practice the Scripture.
Find the Book. Dust it off. Open it up. Underline the Promises and begin to APPLY them. Life and circumstances will change.
It may not hurt to dust off the treadmill as well!!

"Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come." 1Timothy 4:8
