Deuteronomy 32:15 Jeshurun grew fat and kicked; filled with food, they became heavy and sleek. They abandoned the God who made them and rejected the Rock their Saviour.
I love finding snippets like this in the bible! Right from the beginning God has been warning us the Christian life is going to be hard!
An athlete has to continue exercising in order to stay on form; when they stop exercising they may become fat and get lazy and stray away from their career or love for it.
As Christians we need to continue with our daily exercise to make sure we keep on top of things and don’t fall off the rail into temptation.
Yes, it takes work!
