I was fit, but now I’m not

Webster’s Dictionary definition of FIT: acceptable from a particular viewpoint; sound physically and mentally; put into a suitable state: made ready

DOES GOD CARE ABOUT WHAT I WEIGHT?

”But the Lord said to Samuel, ‘Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The Lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.’” 1 Samuel 16:7

“ Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.” 1 Corinthians 6:19 - 20

How do we honor God with our body? It’s a rhythm!

What is the number one exercise to get fit?

“When the cool evening breezes were blowing, the man and his wife heard the Lord God walking about in the garden. So they hid from the Lord God among the trees. Then the Lord God called to the man, ‘Where are you?’” Genesis 3:8 - 10

“The account of Noah and his family. Noah was a righteous man, the only blameless person living on earth at the time, and he walked in close fellowship with God.”
Genesis 6:9

What if we look at Jesus’ life?

“Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him.” Colossians 2:6

“As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. ’Come, follow me,’ Jesus said, ’and I will send you out to fish for people.’ At once they left their nets and followed him.”
Matthew 4:18-20

In the Bible there are over 400 times were one of the tenses of the word walk is used.

In the Bible there are over 200 times were one of the tenses of the word follow is used.
