1 Corinthians 3:16-17 (New International Version)

“¹⁶Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you? ¹⁷If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is sacred, and you are that temple.”

It’s high time to get into SHAPE!

Physically. Mentally. Spiritually.

Getting into shape is no simple task, having to take into consideration factors such as the motivation behind it or even the whole process of going through. Of course, after withstanding all the beatings and batting in achieving these tasks, ultimately… it also boils down to getting into the RIGHT shape. One could argue, “Round’s a shape!” But it’s the last shape I would want to achieve physically, or remain in for that matter, albeit it’s a shape.

The importance of gleaning knowledge from His word everyday is indispensable to every Christian life. But when it gets down to real work, we are really all works in progress, far cry from being complete. However, there’s only one motivation to work towards despite our incapability. The assurance and fact that that the only way to be complete is through Him.

John 14:6 (New International Version)

“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

It’s high time.

We don’t exactly have much time.

There is an urgent need to get into shape amidst of all other things. I can feel the tensions of the everyday life, but am I just chasing the wind, being tossed by the seas of life like a child? The tensions can be felt, but this is likened to the wind, we can feel it… but ultimately it’s intangible and temporal!

We have to remind ourselves that what we really need is to press on solely towards the real goal of leading a transformed Christian life -- a need to not only just glean knowledge from the Word of God, but going beyond from being just listeners to being a doers of His word.

Let’s look upon the Lord Jesus Christ to be the “shape” we want to mould ourselves into.

Amen!
