"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." Hebrews 13:8
According to
Shape Magazine, there is a new cardio trend guaranteed to make treadmill running way less boring... high-tech treadmills. Thanks to companies like Peloton and Flywheel, they say, there are now treadmills available that grant indoor runners access to a wide variety of live and on-demand classes right in their home. Consider the Peloton Tread that was introduced earlier this year. It comes with shock-absorbing slats and a 32-inch HD touchscreen monitor that allows a runner to plug into a virtual community and join other runners from around the world. But before you get too excited and jump on the trend bandwagon, know that you will pay a high price for doing so. The treadmill costs $3,995 and the monthly subscription fee is $39. Yikes! That's certainly one trend I won't be following.
And you know, when it comes to following a
trend or, the general direction in which something is developing or changing, the Bible is very clear that not every trend should be followed. You see, while the world over time has changed its' views of what is wrong and right, the Truth has never changed. In fact, the Bible tells us that "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." That means that the same
commandments that were given to Moses and the Israelites to follow are the same commandments that we are to follow today, regardless of how the world's view of what's right and wrong has developed or changed.
So while I would highly encourage you to follow any fitness trend that is safe and inspires you to move more, I would highly discourage you from following any trend of thinking that influences you to act in a way contrary to the Word - because, if you do, you will most certainly pay a high price for it my friend.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the Word that clearly tells us that the Truth never changes no matter how the worlds' thinking does. Help us to recognize those trends that would lead us astray and steer clear of them. It's in your precious name we pray Jesus. Amen.
Happy Running!!
