Cardio Workout

Any good workout plan will include a cardio workout. Exercise that gets the heart beating and lungs working harder does so many positive things for our health. In a real way, the discipline of stewardship is the spiritual version of a cardio workout, because the way we use our time, talents, and treasures is a clear indication of the condition of our heart. Stewardship begins with realizing the owner of all that I have and am is God, who in Creation made it and in the cross purchased all of me. Stewardship is then motivated by an understanding of the richness of grace and the poverty of sin and self-centered living. And our spiritual health will grow when we intentionally get our heart rate up, and live intentionally generous and content lives.
