"For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe." (1 Timothy 4:10 NKJV) Reproach from men is actually an ugly taste of bad services from detractors. Besides the anticipated discouragement from a good course in life, the target of the architect of ill services is the implied negative impression about the goodness of God. Like the Apostle Paul's admonition to young Timothy, those who will be steadfast with their belief must trust God that all services are good. It is better to trust the testament of the Creator of all creatures than accepting the statement of each creature's service. The goodness in any ill service is not in its taste, but in its trust to safe.

"For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come." (1 Timothy 4:8 NKJV) The impact of the digital invasion on the quality of life today can only be underestimated. Without over-ruling the benefits of the computer age on technological advancement, it is obvious that many evil vices are easily promoted in the absence of sufficient godly engagements of the scientific platform. The truth is that in the midst of all productive physical engagements, careful enrichment of our digital devices with godly contents can turn the tide of invasion to inspiration. Prosperity is measured not by the quantity of life, but by the quality of life - which is the test of spiritual fitness.
