Just like the army trains it’s recruits, sometimes like feel like bootcamp and it’s intense—it stretches the body, sharpens the mind, and builds endurance. But spiritual bootcamp is even more vital. As followers of Christ, we’re called to grow, to discipline ourselves in prayer, Scripture, and service, and to live lives that reflect His Kingdom. God wants us fit for purpose—not just saved, but focussed, shaped, strong, and effective for His mission.
1 Timothy 4:7-8 reminds us, “Train yourself for godliness [keeping yourself spiritually fit]. For physical training is of some value, but godliness [spiritual training] is of value in everything” (AMP). God calls us to be alert, equipped, and ready—not by our own strength, but through daily commitment to Him.
Take your faith seriously. Get spiritually fit, stretch your limits, and rise to what God is calling you to be. You were made for more.
