1 Timothy 4: 8 For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.
Paul is offering advice. He has a lot to say about elders and deacons, the structure of of the church. He won't allow women to speak, as usual. Then he gets more personal. He tells Timothy how to be an effective church leader.
I like this thought. Keeping ourselves physically fit is important, but it's not the same kind of important as being righteous. That's our link to eternity.
Prayer: Lord, help me to stay physically and spiritually fit. Show me how to prepare for the rest of my life on earth and also for eternity with You. Help me to hear Your voice.
Amen
