Fit in every area of life~
Monday, March 26, 2018
Welcome Spring fever!! Spring is here and that is usually a time we continue working on our New Years resolutions so we can fit into our summer beach wear. Or we return to the fitness plan we quit at the end of January and February! I would like to remind you that God wants us healthy and fit in every area of our lives and He will also help us succeed! Kates Faith and Fitness focuses on 5 areas I think are the most important to a successful, joyful life-eat naturally, exercise daily, experience God, encourage others and enjoy life-providing helpful tips and healthy scriptures or promises from God’s Word to motivate and lift us up. God’s promises are powerful, living words inspired from the Holy Spirit, our helper, so that when we speak out His Word, the Holy Spirit brings Zoe life to our spirit and will help us accomplish anything in life. Zoe life is the ultimate life word used in the Bible and means God’s eternal and most overflowing and abounding form of life!
When I need motivation to eat better I remember God’s original diet in Genesis 1:29-that He gave us everything from the ground and trees to eat for food-and I grab a tasty fiji apple instead of a bag of chips. And I can meditate on how God encourages me to take care of my body because it is also God’s holy temple that houses his Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians 6:19. I tell myself that I can do everything in Christ today-Philippians 4:13-and so it motivates me to go for my morning walk when I don’t feel like walking. I also remember that 1 Corinthians 9:24 tells me to “run to win” today. Mark 12:30-31 reminds me that loving God and loving others today are the most important commandments from God. And the Galatians 5:22 Holy Spirit passion fruits that can flow from me each day are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness and self control when I am intentionally walking in and with Christ!
We can get so busy listening to all the noises in the world but God’s Word is what we should really be listening to each day. He has the most abundant life for us when we follow Him. Try it today!

Psalm 1 -Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, 2 but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night. 3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers.
