1 Timothy 4:8 - For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.GODLINESS: To be Godly is not achieved over night.A good soldier does not earn all his stripes in his first year of service and neither does the Man of God.The soldier and the Man of God goes through various testings and as he passes each test he earns new stripes. With these new stripes comes new responsibilities and duties.Every soldier realizes that losing a hard earn stripe can happen overnight 'if' he lets his guard down even for a moment.Now, as a 'soldier of the Lord' earn your stripes, earn the respect of others and God, and watch God promote you 'little by little' into his glorious service.
