So apparently today was my tenth time donating blood. Since I rarely go to the doctors, I find giving blood is a good pseudo health checkup. It helps me to know where my blood pressure and resting heart rate is at.
Today I registered at 116/78 with a resting pulse of 60. Not bad, considering how tubby I am lately. Apparently that’s still a healthy blood pressure, but it’s been creeping up slowly over the past year and a half. It reminds me that health is not something that we should take for granted, it’s something that we have to work at to keep.
In the same way, our spiritual health is something that we have to work at constantly.
Today in small group we studied Ephesians 1. The church in Ephesus seems like a pretty strong group, it’s strong in faith and love for others. A seemingly healthy church. Yet Paul prays for them that they may continue to know Christ better. I don’t know where I would say my spiritual health is, it’s not as easy as wrapping a band around my arm and finding out my blood pressure. But regardless, I guess I should pray that same prayer in my life, that I would continue to know Christ better and better.
