"DON'T SMASH YOUR FACE!!!"
So I was working out this morning with free weights, and this is what the instructor said on the video I was following. “Practical,” I thought, getting an early morning laugh out of it.
Something was nagging me, though. I slept too late to study my Bible and then workout like I normally do. It’s like the LORD was saying, “You made sure you got your workout in, but what about your time alone with Me?” Life crowds in so quickly, and if we’re not careful, spiritual things can get run over by our plans, our goals. Am I saying I shouldn’t exercise? No. But if I can get out of bed to exercise, I can get up earlier to meet with Jesus EVERYDAY. Am I going to go back and get in my Bible today? You better believe it, especially since you’re reading this!

| What "good things" are distracting you from Christ? |
Are there things in your life that sometimes bump God out of the picture? Find out what those things are. You may need to totally remove them from your life—if it’s something you know is wrong—or you may just need to get things in the right order, like getting alone with Jesus in His Word and then working out. Do what you have to do to get things right...and DON’T SMASH YOUR FACE.
