Training the Heart

"Bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things."
1 Timothy 4:8

Reflection

Training your body is good: you get stronger and faster. But training your heart with God is worth even more, because it counts for now and forever.

Prayer

God, I want to train my heart to follow You. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. What do you do to make your body stronger?
  2. How can we train our heart with God?
  3. What would a heart workout look like?

5-minute activity

Do five minutes of exercises together, like jumping jacks and squats. Then do a "heart workout": one verse, one thank-you, one prayer for someone. Read 1 Timothy 4:8.
