I discipline my body and bring it into subjection. 1 Corinthians 9:27

Billy was a track runner and he did not need extra weight.  

But summer was a disaster.  Too many milk-shakes.  Too many burgers.  Too many French fries.  

'You've lost three seconds on the hundred-yard sprint,' the school coach told Billy.  'You're carrying extra weight.  Don't know if you'll make the team.'  

Billy had not disciplined his body.  He had eaten the wrong things.  

The Bible says Christians must also discipline our bodies, that is, not allow into our lives things that stop us from being like Jesus.

Prayer: Cleanse me, O God, and keep me clean today.  Amen.
