10,000 Steps a day?

Recently, I was watching Dr. Oz speaking about the importance of walking 10,000 steps a day!
Can you believe it!? I tried it yesterday estimating on my treadmill and walked a VERY long time (slowly, I am so out of shape!) and ended up about 90 minutes on the watch! Yikes!

I began to think about spiritual steps while I was walking..... if we physically need 10, 000 steps of walking a day, how many then do we need of spiritual steps a day? I thought that if I was willing to give 90 minutes of my time to walking, how much more could I receive from the Lord and our relationship of I gave Him 90 minutes of my day walking with Him?

I heard once from Louie Giglio, that our spiriual time should be divided into [my terminology] input ( hearing from God through His Word, through our local body of believers, accountability groups, discipleship groups) and output ( mentoring, ministry, service, etc. ) How much more would I shape up in Christ if I did these things on a daily basis?

Needless to say, I need to get physically and spiritually fit, and a great way to do that is just to begin a daily walk....
