If you are training for a run or working out in the gym to build muscle or lose weight its proven that stressing the muscles will help achieve those objectives. It is also a good practice to stretch before and after a good workout to help the muscles recover.
This is no different in life. When we are challenged by life, through finances or disappointed by relationships whether that be professional or personal, it a glorious opportunity to train the soul. It takes our eyes of earthly rewards. It strips away superficial beliefs. It strengths the faith of those that endure and our attitude through it serves as an example to other.
In Matthew 5:11 – 5:15ish, teaches this and talks of letting your light shine as your light is meant to illuminate your soul. So as you choose your directions today, make sure there is plenty of room for your soul, your spirit, because as Christ teaches, if you are the salt of life, don’t loose your saltiness, because you will be thought out to be trampled by men.
