I got a Wii Fit Plus for Christmas, and we've really enjoyed it. It doesn't hurt that I've lost five pounds so far. (More than I lost in three months of running, I might add, but that's another story.) My BMI is dropping. My balance has improved. My coordination… well, I'll get back to you on that one. Plus, as I've used it, I've unlocked new exercises, more reps, and some challenge games.So how is my Wii Fit like the Holy Spirit?
I have to take advantage of it. If I don't take the thing out of the box, I'll never get any stronger or fitter. If I never rely on the Holy Spirit, I'll never get any stronger or fitter for God's kingdom.
I get better, the more I use it. My scores from the first week were terrible. I don't even want to discuss step aerobics. In the same way, it becomes more natural to follow the Spirit, the more I do it.
Some parts have to be unlocked. Even though all the games, challenges, levels and reps are on the disc, I can't get to them all at once. The Holy Spirit wants me to exercise my faith before He opens up some things to me. The stronger my faith and my walk with Him get, the more challenges I'll b ready for.
I got it as soon as I received the gift. All those games and levels were mine as soon as I opened the present, but I have to put in some effort to access them. All that the Holy Spirit has for me was mine as soon as I accepted the gift of salvation. However, I have to put some effort into my own growth.
So how fit are you? How many levels have you unlocked?

Yeah, I like the Wii Fit Plus…you pose a very interesting point through all of this. It’s so true.
