Do You Need Some Exercise?

There are some folks who think that I LOVE exercise.

I do not like the process, and the soreness the next day,

but I do appreciate the results.

I like to have toned muscles.

I like to fit in everyday clothes.  

I like to be able to work beside my hubby.

I like to be able to do the work around my home and gardens.

While reading through Proverbs this week, 

I was reminded of another strength that I should be developing.

These are traits of the truly strong woman.

Proverbs 16:32 

He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; 

and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

... slow to anger

... ruling my spirit

How often do I fly off the handle?

Usually when things are not going as I planned.

My selfishness and pride show my weakness.

Do I rule my spirit?

The sin nature wants to rule my spirit.

It wants me to get angry,

to be lazy,

to covet,

to speak ill of others ... .

I want to be a strong woman - 

physically and spiritually.

So I must bring my weakness to the Savior

who can help me control my temper

and rule my spirit.
