There’s a line in 1 Timothy that really caught my attention: “Train yourself to be godly” (1 Timothy 4:7). Why is this so great? Because of the word “train”. Paul doesn’t say, “suddenly know”, or “don’t work too hard at it”, or “it will come naturally”. No! He says “Train yourself”.
If you’ve ever trained in anything you know it’s hard work. It takes time, dedication, commitment, and a plan.
You have to do it even when you don’t want to. It’s not always a picnic, but if you stick with it, it always pays off.
So how are you training?
