"Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come." This is a trustworthy saying, and everyone should accept it. This is why we work hard and continue to struggle, for our hope is in the living God, who is the Savior of all people and particularly of all believers. 1 Timothy 4:8-10 NLT
Faith, hope, and love can grow and develop much like the strength of an athlete in training. If you feel that you are lacking in any of these things, there is always hope that you can grow in them—if you devote time to developing them. Each day is ;an opportunity to engage in the struggle of faith and hope, trusting God to guide you, to provide what you need, and to help you share with others what the Lord has done for you.
The benefits of trusting in God daily will show up in the days to come. Growing in faith and hope will help you endure the challenges that arrive in the future, and you will have the peace that comes from God’s Holy Spirit. You can share this strength with others, and over time you will have the peace that comes from a strong faith in God as you pass into the life to come.
Prayer: Help me, Lord, to devote my life to training in godliness so that I can one day see You with confidence.
