And it came to pass, that as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesarel and saw two ships standing by the lake but the fishermen were gone out of them,and were washing their nets. And he entered into one of the ships which was Simon's and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land, and he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.
Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught and Simon answering said unto him, master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. and when they had this don, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes and their net brake. what privilege is mine to come before the father's throne, to speak to him in earnest prayer make all my wishes known lift weights and walk, but I know that my body is not long for this world, its strength is fading.
it's better to concentrate on godliness, because it holds promise for this life and the life to come contrary to the old adage, we can take something with us after all. Godliness may sound dull, scary, and unattainable, but the essence of godliness is simply self-giving love-life is a journey into love, it seems to me, and there's nothing so beautiful as a godly soul.
Physical excerise is good, no doubt, but there is something far,far,better. it is to love we grow loving and more lovely by sitting at Jesus feet, listening to him, talking things over gaining in likeness to the one who is love.
