How can we tell if we are spiritually exercised?

To ascertain whether we are spiritually exercised, we must consider our level of concern for our own souls and the spiritual condition of others. This includes a consistent practice of prayer, meditation on God's Word, and actively seeking God's presence in all situations. Engaging with the Scripture as a mirror to our lives leads us to examine our motives and actions, allowing us to understand the Lord’s workings in both personal trials and general afflictions seen in others. An actively exercised believer distinguishes themselves from the unregenerate by their persistent pursuit of holiness and understanding of God's will, cultivated through regular spiritual practice and dependence on His grace.
