"Heroic Christians are those who don't just believe the right things, but do the right things as a result of their beliefs. They are never satisfied with where they are today in their spiritual growth; they are always eager to grow more. But spiritual growth doesn't happen without physical discipline. For our spiritual life to flourish, we must train our bodies to yield not to our own selfish whims, but to the commands of God's Spirit. We must train our physical life to serve our highest priority - abiding in the King of all kings.
Some of us spend hours a day training to be great at a sport or musical talent, but few of us devote hours each day to training for spiritual excellence. God's real-life action heroes aren't shaped through comfort and coddling. The super-conquerors in Christ's kingdom are those willing to come under the rigorous discipline of God's adventure training school."
- Eric ("When God Writes Your Life Story")
How are you actively pursuing God today? May we never allow our spiritual thirst to be quenched and satisfied, but let us press on today for
more than we have
ever beheld of Him before!
