Evaluate Your Spiritual Fitness


This is a good time of the year to take a spiritual fitness test. One way to gauge our spirituality is to figure out how detached we are from material things.

When we’re in love with God, we love His Word. We love to obey and please Him in our daily lives. When we love God, we long to spend time in prayer with Him. When we love God, we love to talk about His love with people, who do not know Him yet. When we love God, we’ll love His people and the work of His Kingdom. When we love God, we take risk and make sacrifices to help the world-wide body of Christ.

If we love our comfortable lifestyle more than we love God, we’re off balance. If we love money more than God, we’re sick spiritually. If our work, popularity and prestige are more important than associating with God’s people, we got our priorities wrong. Now is a good time to tune up our spiritual health.

Jesus said, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also (Luke 12:34 NIV). Friend, set your mind on things above. Everything you have, you’ll soon have to leave behind. Heaven is our glorious Hope. Will you be recognized in heaven for the way you lived your life here on earth?
