Everyday Fitness Devotion

When my dear friend Shannon, a physical therapist opened her own fitness studio her goal was to help people focus on having a healthier body, but she and her staff are there to help others with their emotional and spiritual health as well. A great thing about having her own business is she’s able to do devotions with her employees each week (which was optional).

I remember her sharing how two of her employees were nudging and whispering to each other as she was reading devotions one day.  When she approached the women they said, “We feel uncomfortable because we don’t think about God like you do, it’s a personal thing.  And besides, we think God and business should be separate.”  Well Shannon didn’t so the girls made a choice to move on. It was disappointing but I told Shannon she should continue to be obedient to what God has called her to do because as 1 Samuel 2:30 says; “Those who honor Me I will honor” …everyday.
