- Hey, you!

Yeah, you.

Thanks for watching ushere at The Superbook Show.

- Thank you!

(panting)

- Why are you running in place?

- I've been working out all day.

(sighs)

And I haven't seen any results yet.

(swooshing sound effect)

- A whole day?

- Well, more like half an hour.

(sad trombone sound effect)

- You know, it takes longer than

that to get in the shape, right?

- I don't know, I clickedon the YouTube video

and the guy said if I follow the workout

I'd be shredded in no time.

- I think that was a figure of speech.

- Figures.

- Anything worth having takes time to get.

- Tell me about it!

That's a half hour I'll never get back.

- Well, okay, anything worthhaving takes time to get.

And then you have to work to maintain it.

- You're telling me I have to work hard

just to do more working hard?

- Kind of.

- What's this whole life thing about, man?

- It's a lifelong journey to improvement

and closeness to God.

- Okay, but what about this?

Jesus said He gave us peace as a gift.

- He did.

- Right, but we don't haveto, like, work for our gifts?

- True, but, the Bible also says

to seek peace and work to maintain it.

- Really, maintain?

- Let me ask you this,is salvation a gift?

- Yes?

- It is, but in Philippians,it says to work hard

to show the results of your salvation.

- Wait, work?

- Yeah, as in cultivate or work on it.

- I gotta read more.

- God gives us all kinds of gifts.

It's up to us to use it, work on it,

and do the things thatmake that gift stronger.

- So I'm not earning the gifts,

but I'm being a goodcaretaker by exercising them?

- That's a great way to put it!

- So, in other words, God gave me

the energy and ability to work out,

but if I want to be asshredded as that YouTube guy,

I'm gonna have to put inmore than a half hour.

- In a short answer, yes.

- Okay, so we gotta startworking out these gifts,

like cardio or weight training.

- That's an interesting way of putting it.

- Start jogging.

- Then, we gotta feed these gifts

a well-rounded diet ofvitamin-packed dishes.

- Okay, but...

- And then, after all that,we've got to be consistent.

Make it a part of our everyday routine

to see the best results.

- Uh-huh.

- And then we've gotta have balance.

In the pursuit of anything,it requires us to have rest.

- Rest, whew!

Okay now you're talking.

- Hey!

- Yeah?

- If you want to see results,

you're going to have to workmore than a few minutes.

- His word is forever alive.

(both panting)

As in cultivate it

or work on it.- I gotta read more.

- Yeah, all right.

(beep)

It's a lifelong journey tocloseness and improvement to God.

Flip that.

There are some times where I say hi,

it sounds like a question.

Like, he did? He did? He did? He did?

I don't know, he did.

Okay, there we go, therewe go, there we go!

I convinced myself on that one.

(laughing)

True.- Really?

- Okay.
