Do you exercise? It is beneficial for your body, but you can exercise in such a way that accomplishes nothing else, or you can work. Do you understand the importance of keeping your mind active and engaged? You can accomplish this by working word or number puzzles. Can you complete the implied logic above? Can you exercise your mind in such a way that it produces a beneficial result other than just being engaged? Try seeking out thoughtful and reflective people who differ with you on important issues. Invite them to present their arguments, and do the same for them.

My word says that bodily exercise profiteth little, but godliness is profitable for all things. You know people who take bodily exercise very seriously, and some who give it no consideration at all. Health and fitness are valuable in that they facilitate the activities of life, but they are not the purpose of life. I made you to be capable of strenuous effort, and your body thrives on vigor rather than inactivity. Fitness increases your capacity for life. To what do you apply your capacity for life? If it is fitness only, then you have missed the point and the opportunity.

Do you pray? This may be the most common practice of believers. What is your understanding of prayer? Skeptics accuse believers of magical thinking, and the accusation is credible if believers view prayer as a vending machine, ATM, or even a slot machine. Do your considered doctrines of my omniscience and omnipotence make you wonder about the purpose of prayer, knowing that I am capable of doing whatever I want unbidden? So do you claim to have a complete understanding of what your part is in the process of prayer? Are you still willing to pray if you view it as a mystery?
