操練生命
讀經: 提摩太前書4章1-11節
金句: 「在敬虔上操練自己。」（提摩太前書4章7節）
全年讀經: 耶利米書32-33章；希伯來書1章

2006年11月，狄恩·卡納澤跑完了42.2公里的紐約馬拉松賽，表現出堅韌不拔的毅力。卡納澤在五十天之內參加了五十個州的馬拉松賽。這位耐力超群的運動員取得的輝煌戰績包括：連續跑563公里，24小時不間斷地騎越野自行車，游泳渡過舊金山海灣。這樣過人的體力，是需要日以繼夜的苦練才能擁有的。
保羅告訴提摩太，屬靈的健壯和過敬虔的生活也需要艱苦的操練。在充滿異端教導的文化、極端的自我享樂主義和自我否定主義的浪潮當中，保羅寫道：「要棄絕那世俗的言語和老婦荒渺的話，在敬虔上操練自己。操練身體，益處還少；惟獨敬虔，凡事都有益處，因有今生和來生的應許。」（提摩太前書4章7-8節）
我們的身心靈都當獻給上帝，成就他的工作（羅馬書12章1-2節）。這樣做的目的不在於伸展屬靈的肌肉，而是過一個敬虔、討主喜悅的生活。熱心研讀上帝的話語、致力禱告、身體力行等等，都是構成這種操練的要素。
我們如何訓練自己，將會對我們如何奔跑人生旅程有巨大影響。DCM
身體力量得增長，需要每日勤操練；屬靈訓練更敬虔，要將主意放在前。D. De Haan
屬靈的操練是屬靈品格之鑰。

Training For Life
READ: 1 Timothy 4:1-11
Exercise yourself toward godliness. —1 Timothy 4:7
-->About this cover

When Dean Karnazes completed the 26.2-mile New York Marathon in November 2006, it marked the end of an almost impossible feat of endurance. Karnazes had run 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days. This exceptional athlete’s ultra-endurance feats include: running 350 continuous miles, mountain biking for 24 hours straight, and swimming across San Francisco Bay. That level of fitness requires relentless, dedicated training.
Spiritual fitness, Paul told Timothy, also takes much more than a relaxed approach to live a God-honoring life. In a culture marked by false teaching, along with extreme forms of self-indulgence and self-denial, Paul wrote: “Exercise [train] yourself toward godliness. For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come” (1 Tim. 4:7-8).
Our bodies and our minds are to be dedicated to God and prepared for His service (Rom. 12:1-2). The goal is not spiritual muscle-flexing but godliness—a life that is pleasing to the Lord. Vigorous study of the Word, focused prayer, and bodily discipline are all part of the process.
How well we train greatly affects how well we run our race of life. —David C. McCasland—David C. McCasland-->
Just as the body grows in strengthWith exercise each day,Our spirit grows in godlinessBy living life God’s way. —D. De Haan
Godly exercise is the key to godly character.

婦女睡不足7小時 易患高血壓
【中新網】最新研究發現，長期以來每晚睡眠不足七個小時的婦女，患上高血壓的危險比較大。
據新加坡《聯合早報》報導，英國科學家對超過一萬名成年人進行五年追蹤調查，發現經常只睡六小時或不到六小時的婦女，比休息好的人容易患上高血壓。跟每晚能睡七小時以上的婦女相比，那些睡不夠六小時的人，患高血壓的可能性要高42%，而經常睡眠不超過五小時的人，患病的危險還要高出31%。
但是報告作者在《高血壓雜誌》上說，並沒有發現男人的睡眠時間和血壓有明確的關係。英國華威(Warwick)大學醫學院的卡普喬博士認為，調查說明，在睡眠不足和高血壓的關係方面，男女可能有「性別差異」。
