If Christ therefore be the Saviour of all men, then much more will he be the Rewarder of those who seek and serve him; he will provide well for those whom he has made new creatures. – Matthew Henry
Who doesn’t love being rewarded?
Then, it’s a good idea to train your spiritual muscles and be a servant of Yahweh to receive His blessings for now and the future.
How do I train my spiritual muscles you ask? Let me share how you can train yourself. (Adapted from Chana Weisberg’s recipe.)
| Exercise: | When: | Spiritual Muscles Used: | Duration: | How many times: |
| Say words of thanks to Yahweh for the gift of another day of life. | Immediately upon awakening. | Introspection, connection with your Creator, gratitude. | 15 seconds | Once a day, every morning. |
| Say a blessing on your food. | Before or after eating. | Gratitude and appreciation for what you have. | 2-5 seconds | Throughout the day. |
| Pick up the phone and say a kind word to your parent (For those whose parents are alive.) Could be a family member. | Any time you have a spare moment (make sure you FIND that moment). | Kindness, honouring and respecting your parents/family. | 5-15+ minutes | As many times as you are able, depending on circumstances. |
| Pray to Yahweh and meditate on His Word | Morning, afternoon and evening | Realign yourself, evaluation of your priorities, developing a relationship with your Creator | 5 min. to 1 hour + depending on spiritual stamina | 1-3 times a day |
| Volunteer to help someone who needs it. | Anytime! | Compassion, awareness of the plight of others | 5 seconds-1+ hours | At least once or twice a week |
I know there is a lot more that you can do. But you must be careful not to strain your spiritual muscles or you could get disheartened with the workout and give up altogether. I have in the past.
You could just be surprised at how an investment of a few seconds several times throughout your day can give you a bunch of spiritual energy while revitalizing your whole being.
Let’s spend 2% of our day for ourselves, for Yahweh and for all of humanity?
