This is a record of what I have learned while losing weight.
Entry for October 23, 2006

I went to 24 Hour Fitness this morning and walked about 25 minutes on the treadmill and then did some upper body exercises. My arms are slightly sore, but I realize that when you use muscles for the first time, you will experience some soreness.


Lesson Learned: In Matthew 26, this passage is found:


36 Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, "Sit here while I go and pray over there." 37 And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. 38 Then He said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me." 39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, "O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will." 40 Then He came to the disciples and found them asleep, and said to Peter, "What? Could you not watch with Me one hour? 41 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." 42 Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, "O My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done." 43 And He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy. 44 So He left them, went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. 45 Then He came to His disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand."


Jesus' expectation was that His disciples stand watch or stand guard. They couldn't because their spirits were in subjection to their bodies.  They couldn't stand watch for one hour. Our bodies need to be in subjection to our spirit. If we don't have the energy to carry out God's will for our lives, we need to regroup and start looking at our health.
