The fitness test starts with you and I deciding to put our hands to the plow. The tool used to work the fields so it may be rich and will allow for growth of the crops. the field is our world the crops are those love ones in our world without Christ. The balance of the fitness test is what we do with our eyes. You see if we keep our eyes on who the Lord is in your life, well, for with God nothing will be impossible. What often takes place is the one who starts the fitness test by putting his hands on the plow, the Holy Spirit, feels His touch, then they release the plow remove their hands and look back to the things in the world, failing the fitness test. 

Put your hands on the plow never look back. Now granted along the way we will fall and stumble, be bruised, scratched in some cases seriously hurt emotionally and physically, but we will not look back. Like Peter walking on the water with his eyes upon the Lord, Peter never looked back, he started to sink when he took his eyes off the Lord. The complete fitness test is you and I allowing the Holy Spirit who lives with in us be the plow that we put our hands on, keeping our eyes on the Lord. And if by chance you stumble and fall, like Peter reach up and ask the Lord to save you from the trial you face and He will always be there to get you out of the storm. Do you have your hands on the plow? The fitness test is, are you fit for the kingdom of God. The only way is to put your hands to the plow never look back. You see I know I am not everything the Lord wants me to be, but I am thankful I am not what I use to be. My hands to the plow looking to Jesus Christ who guides me as I work the field never looking back.
