To Exercise the Soul

"Not only pray the prayers of Scripture, but let both your terminology and content reflect scripture's terminology and content" (Boice, pg. 162). Thus, it should only be a rational thing to know that what we learn of God, we also apply back to God through means of pray, whether it be public or private, song writing, messages from the pulpit. ect. . But is this simply enough, that we use the faculties of our brain, and the members to that which it uses, to bring Glory to the Lord? Burrouges seems to make a fine line between that which we exercise our souls to do (which may or may not include the body at times) and that which we exercise our souls to do. Thus there is a distinction which should be remembered as we go throughout the day in everything we do, say, and listen to. Is the soul truly being exercised for God's glory through the means in which God has given us to do so through Christ? "Bodily worship without soul worship is nothing; but soul worship may be accepted without bodily worship. Therefore it is the soul that God principally looks at in holy duties" (Burroughes, pg 121). And thus boroughs would challenge us to evaluate the type of attitude within the soul we place before God and further caution us to not exercise it in such a way that Scripture does not give us the privilege of doing.
