Return to BlogKeeping a Healthy Heart (Lee Ann Brancker)
Walking is a great form of exercise. Health experts recommend waking for at least 30 minutes every day. One good thing that happens when you include walking in your exercise routine is that you lose excess body fat. This means that you get rid of the unnecessary fat in your body that can lead to problems with your heart and other illnesses. Walking helps keep your physical body fit and healthy.
Spending time with Jesus everyday is a great way to keep spiritually fit, because it is the best way to get rid of the excess ‘fat’ in your life like selfishness, disobedience and dishonesty that makes your heart unhealthy. Your heart will become very healthy as you become like Jesus, while showing love, being obedient to your parents and others in authority who tell you to do what is right, and telling others what you learn from God’s Word.
So, if you haven't already started, get moving. Your heart, family, friends and others will thank you and Jesus will be pleased.
TEXT: Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Psalm 51:10
