When was the last time you worked out? I haven’t worked out for like two months and my 13-year-old son challenged me to a basketball game and boy did I regret it the next day! It is important to work out physically but it is also more important to work out spiritually. When we are spending time with the Lord reading our bibles, doing devotions and going to church, we are working out and getting stronger and when we are stronger spiritually we are able to accomplish some amazing things. Let’s look at Peter for example. When he was walking with the Lord and he was pretty ripped spiritually. In Matthew 14:28-29 Peter sees the Lord walking on water and he says to Jesus “Lord, if it is you tell me to come to you on the water. Come, Jesus said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.” Peter had some amazing faith to want to take a step onto the unknown. You know there were 12 guys in that boat with Peter and he was the only one that wanted to get out! When was the last time you took a step of faith? When was the last time you got out of your comfort zone? When was the last time you did something when everyone else was watching from the sidelines?
