FIT FOR FIGHT
Nike in Greek means Victory and is
associated with terms such as -
mental, physical and spiritual
fortitude [strength, courage].
Daughter, you may be young and
sheltered by your parents for now.
However, you do not live in a bubble and things will not
always be comfortable. You will hurt, you will wonder
why and bad things do happen to good people. Life is
actually a fight for your life! What do I mean by that?
Well even if you never struggle for food, resources or
love you are still a part of a holy war for your soul. You
therefore need to be strong to fight in prayer by having
the fortitude to pray for extended periods of time. You
need to be mentally alert so that when you read the
bible and other scriptural based literature like this
book, you will be able to clearly understand what you
read so you can apply it. Did you know that when you
are not fit, hope and faith becomes hard because you
are distracted by the weight of your ill health? You may
already be ill but if your mind is sharp you can still gain
from your understanding of scripture, God’s letters to
you so your hope can be renewed and you can stay
positive.
Three basic foundations of healthy lifestyle are:-
• Rest
• Exercise
• Proper diet
