Measuring Results

Since January 5th I have gained a little over a pound. My BMI has gone down .2. Neither of those are very exciting, but what is exciting is that my body fat percentage has gone down 2%!

This just shows me that I am on the right track.

Sometimes we expect progress with the LORD to be "fast." We expect to see results almost instantaneously but the truth of the matter is that it takes time and hard work to "grow" in the LORD. We need to be intentional about growing in our spiritual lives by spending time in the Word, in prayer, and with other believers.

The same can be said for my training program at the gym. Progress is slow, but the progress is steady. I am intentional about my efforts and results, albeit small, can be seen. Be encouraged--even if your progress is small.
