Psalm 119:145-152 – Does your heart cry out for God? O! I hope it does. His statutes are peaceful to the soul and His Testimonies are evidence of His faithfulness and love for us. Early I will call upon Him for the day ahead; He hears and delivers me by revealing His loving kindness. Not only to me, but even to those who persecute me because He rescues me.
Someone asked me once about physical exercise on submarines. How does a person stay fit with four full meals a day? The fourth meal on a Naval ship is called midrats, or better titled midnight rations. Midnight rations are sometimes foods that are left over from the evening and lunch meals; but can be soup and sandwiches.
Sailors can expect a full breakfast, lunch and dinner along with the midrats each and every day. With all of that food and no exercise, problems with health and weight can develop, that is; if you are inclined to be at every meal served. Most men miss a meal or two during the day because of sleep, or preference.
This helps, but what really helps is daily exercise. Larger submarines have a small workout area, but others simply have a work space area that is big enough for a person to run in place. The best method of running in place is to have a piece of rope about ten feet in length and a bicycle inner tube. Tie the rope to some solid object, then to the tube. Then get inside the ring of the tube, take the slack out of the rope and tube and start jogging against the tension of the tube.
Now that works real well, in fact; if you cannot afford one of those treadmills from five hundred to a thousand dollars at the sporting goods store, a bike tube and a piece of rope is less than ten dollars and I think it works better.
One thing I miss is midnight soup and sandwiches and a glass of milk, maybe I should try that at home here? I wonder if I can talk my wife into getting up and making another meal. Hmmm! Is there a rub in this? God has purposed everything that man does to be beautiful in its time. So in time, man can and does enjoy living even in times of peace and war., Ecclesiastes 3.
Also, God has placed eternity in the hearts of all; we are to enjoy the gifts that God gives us, especially the gift of eternity with Him. That gift is better than life itself. 3 John 1:2-4.
