BUT... Godliness has value for all things (1 Timothy 4:8)

For physical training is of some value,
 BUT... Godliness has value for all things,
 holding promise for both the present life 
and the life to come.
1 Tim 4:8
It is awesome that I am surrounded by so many people that are into running and taking care of their physical bodies. When I read this verse it really challenged me> Let's begin today to put in as much time to our Godliness training as we do our physical training. Use the time you run or exercise to praise Him,
It is a great time to pray for others too.

BUT... you shall meditate in it day and night (Joshua1:8)

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth,
BUT you shall meditate in it day and night,
 that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it.
For then you will make your way prosperous,
 and then you will have good success.
Joshua 1:8
You see when we read God's word and think about it through out the day and do what we are lead to do THEN we can't help BUT be successful. Unfortunately we want to think of ourselves through out the day, do what we are lead to do and then wonder why God is not blessing us.

BUT.. the things that come out (of our mouths) (Mark 7:15)

There is nothing from without a man,
that entering into him can defile him:
BUT… the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
Mark 7:15

All I could say was WOW when I read this. It is not what we put in our bodies that make us unclean BUT it is the things that come out of our mouths that does. Verse 21 and 22 goes on  For from within, out of the human heart, come evil ideas, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, evil, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, pride, and folly. my prayer is back to yesterday’s oh Lord help me to keep my mouth shut!
