Exercising: the inner and outer

It's truly incredible that God can even use exercising to reflect His truth!
It's obviously important that we exercise, doctors tell us that all the time. It helps us fight diseases, stay healthier, live longer, it even helps us mentally and emotionally. And it's important not only to exercise but to exercise appropriately. But when we take a break from exercising we don't realize that we've gotten flabby and left ourselves open to all sorts of sickness.
Well, I've been taking a break from exercising. I've been convincing myself that I'm too busy, and when I'm not too tired. Then I was telling myself that I'm fine. As the strength of my immune system slowly deteriorates, type 2 diabetes slowly creeps it's way into my body, my bones start loosing their density, and my emotions run haywire!
But today I realized I've been making excuses and now I've convinced myself that I need to start taking good care of my body again, after all God only gave me one!
Then the Lord lead me to thinking about my walk with Him, and how I have been slacking. Convincing myself that I'm too busy, and when I'm not, too tired. And I've been telling myself that I'm fine. As my heart is getting hardened, my eyes are no longer seeing the works of the Lord, and my tongue is losing it's ability to praise our awesome God!
The truth of the matter is that I've been lying to myself: There has never, is never, and will never be a day where I'm too busy for the Lord, or too tired, or fine without Him. He's is my King and therefore the most honored guest that I can ever have the privilege of being with, of praising, of honoring. He is the organizer of my day and He has already scheduled Himself into every day of my life, in your life. He is my Savior, and there's never a day that I could declare Him unnecessary, I need Him, you need Him. And He knows that, and as our loving God He has provided what we need----Himself.
Just like our outer being needs to be properly taken care of, so does our inner being. I am now convinced that I need to focus on exercising my inner being. Because as much as I never want to look like a body builder physically, I want to be as sturdy as one spiritually, if not more so.
But we now face a problem: we might not be able to spiritually lift as much as we would like, but that's just going to take diligence, and the tearing and building of our 'muscles'.
To put it bluntly: it's going to be hard.
