Rippling Muscles
The strong, muscular, conquering hero didn't get that way through easy living. To attain such a physical state, he had to train hard. Through many years of running, weight training, and selfdiscipline, he brought himself to the peak of condition. The more resistance he put against his muscles, the more they developed. God wants to bring each of us to the peak of condition. He is refining us through resistance. He desires to build in us the muscles of a strong and good character. He doesn't want us to be caught up in the vanities of this futile life. He wants to teach us good judgment, selfdiscipline, perseverance, godliness, and love. These are the rippling muscles that impress God. So, flex your muscle today by lifting up the cross of Calvary in front of this dying world. Seek and save the lost. There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
