Scripture Paraphrased: Don't believe in myths and wives tales, instead train yourself to be Godly. Physical training is good, but Godliness has value for everything now and later.
Application: I feel like we all aren't sure what to do to become more Godly, and I even asked this in my last blog in a way. so in thinking of physical training, what do we do? well we walk and run and lift weights to get our bodies in the shape they need to be in for us to run that run or score the goal, so wouldn't it then stand to reason that to become more Godly that we read more, study more, think and pray more? Ummm, yes! I have many questions about many things and I ask them and listen to the answers, but I don't get it...I mean really get it until I experience it for myself yes I maybe hard headed but hey that's me , I'm imperfect. Last week in a group I asked how, how do I become more godly and whats next after knowing that I am a sinner and make mistakes, whats next? Surly you cant just be a sinner and make mistakes and stay right there, shouldn't you make less and less mistakes? I was told come closer to God. Well I think that's where this advise from Paul to young Timothy comes in. You will train physically for a marathon so Godly training is reading scripture, praying about it and applying it to your life.
