Our God Benefits Us Greatly
According to the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention website, “Regular physical activity is one of the most important things you can do for your health. Being physically active can improve your brain health, help manage weight, reduce the risk of disease, strengthen bones and muscles, and improve your ability to do everyday activities.” As the actor Dick Van Dyke said, “When people ask my secret to staying youthful at an age when getting up and down from your chair on your own is considered an accomplishment, you know what I tell them? 'Keep moving.'"
The benefits of physical activity are undeniable, and we should attempt to incorporate regular physical activity into our lives. But most importantly we must put God in our lives because He really gives us great benefits that will help us now and eternally (Psalm 68:19). He gives us everything that we need for our lives (2 Peter 1:3). But can God really give us all that we need? He said that He would supply all our needs not according to the limitations of the world but according to His unlimited and eternal riches (Philippians 4:19). Furthermore, the Bible says that His goodness and mercy will follow us for all our lives (Psalm 23:6).
We are the apple of God’s eye, and He wants the best for us in every area of our lives. We can continue to look to Him who is working all things together for our good (Romans 8:28). We should enjoy His help and tell others that while other benefits will eventually end, we can enjoy the joy of His presence forever. Truly, He benefits us greatly.
