This is my BP goal for tomorrow (160#s). Actually, it is ambitious, since last week I only got 150#s. (my goals and performances often change because of my health that comes and goes.) In fact, I usually have more "down time" than I do workout time during the year because of physical setbacks. Therefore, I will be happy to get 155#s, but my workouts went so well this past week that I thought I should challenge myself even more. If I don't reach my goal, then I hope to recalculate and try again at a later date.
Sometimes there are factors beyond our control, but even then, we should do what we can to take care of our body (the Temple of God). We were created by God, and He paid for us with His blood (Creator and Redeemer), giving God a double deed to our lives (body, soul and spirit). We are not the owners of our bodies; we are the caretakers of God's property. We are psycho/physical totalities. If we abuse and neglect our outer man, then why should anyone think that we care for our inner man?
Goals are important in life. Time, health, economics, culture, schedules, responsibilities and other factors can impose limits on our accomplishments. Do all you can, while you can, especially in your service to God and other people. Don't wait until your opportunity has passed. It is possible that a lost opportunity may never be recovered. Now is the accepted time. Redeem the time, because the days are evil.
It will not matter if we fail to reach some goals in life (such as this BP), but if we prioritize the way we spend our lives while we can, we will have less regrets and more fulfillment. Especially dream God's dreams, catch God's vision, follow God's directives.
Let your light shine, regardless of how thick the darkness is.
Be ready to do every good work that God assigns you.
Be ready to give an answer (a reason, a testimony, a witness) to anyone who asks you about the hope you have.
Being ready means being prepared, therefore prepare yourself for service, for battle, for ministry.
We are to walk in the steps of Jesus, follow Jesus. Remember, the Bible says Jesus went about doing good. The problem with those who talk the talk but don't walk the walk is that they just go about.
I show a video of the lift in a comment below.
