Just as physical growth demands physical exercise, spiritual growth as a Christian demands spiritual exercise. Here are seven daily exercises to build spiritual muscle :

1. Daily Die to Self.
   "I die every day...in Christ Jesus our Lord." - 1 Corinthians 15:31
   Yield complete control of your life to Jesus Christ every day. 
2. Daily Obedience to Christ.
   "Then he said to them all: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me." Luke 9:23
   Every day, commit yourself to obeying God and His Word. 
3. Daily Bible Reading.
   "...they...examined the Scriptures every day...." - Acts 17:11
   Spend time every day reading God's Word. (First read through the Gospel of Mark.) 
4. Daily Prayer.
   "...give us today our daily bread." - Matthew 6:11
   Devote time every day talking to God in prayer. 
5. Daily Fellowship.
   "...encourage one another daily...." - Hebrews 3:13
   Get involved with your local church, and seek regular fellowship with other Christians. 
6. Daily Witnessing.
   "Day after day...they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ." - Acts 5:42
   Witness for Jesus Christ every day through your words and actions. 
7. Daily Praise.
   "Seven times a day I praise you." - Psalm 119:164
   Praise God every day for who He is and what He has done.
