BB&JT: Plea and thank you for ratings and review & for spreading the word via social media and word of mouth…

BB –  We are talking today about … “Making Each Day Count”…

So JT What does that title bring up to your mind?

  1. Bob – POINT: We are all under pressure to make each day count… sometimes we seem to be on track and other times we seem to loos our focus. What do we do? Best to go to the word of God, in this case the words of Moses in  Psalm 90.

 

Psalm 90:9–12 (ESV) — 9 For all our days pass away under your wrath; we bring our years to an end like a sigh. 10 The years of our life are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty; yet their span is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away. 11 Who considers the power of your anger, and your wrath according to the fear of you? 12 So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.

  1. JT – This is the PowerBreak Podcast, I’m JT along with Bob Brubaker and this is the  –– time for some questions and answers. Feel free to submit your questions by EMAIL TO JT@bobbrubaker.com and we’ll get to the answer on an upcoming PowerBreak. Podcast…

 

  1. JT – Question ONE - FROM THE SPIRITUAL SIDE OF LIFE….

 

Since the Bible teaches us that life is short, would it be a sin to kill time or waste time?

 

  1. Bob & JT discuss

 

1 Corinthians 4:2 (ESV) — 2 Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.

  • Stewardship -- TIME, TREASURE, TALENT

Treasure….

Talent ….

Time…

168 Hours in a week…. How are you doing?

Time log… and evaluate

Ephesians 5:14–18 (ESV) — 14 for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” 15 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit,

  1. JT – Question Two… “FROM THE MENTAL ASPECT”

 

What can we do to get motivated on the subject of making each day count?

  1. Bob & JT discuss

Get a handle on how few days you have ….

 

Psalm 90:9–12 (ESV) — 9 For all our days pass away under your wrath; we bring our years to an end like a sigh. 10 The years of our life are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty; yet their span is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away. 11 Who considers the power of your anger, and your wrath according to the fear of you? 12 So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.

Notice the way Moses reminds us about the brevity of life. If you want to make each day count you need to have a grasp on how short life is. Here he says it’s like a sigh. Other places tell us it is like a few handbreadths, a shadow, or a mist.”

Granted there is no guarantee that we’ll live to be seventy or eighty. God has designed our lives for His purpose and He will take us home at the appropriate time. But just say, your days are numbered to be seventy. In order to number your days, subtract your age from 70 and multiply by 365 days. (Example: Next March 8, I’ll be 70 so this is an awakening moment as my number is about 270 days.) Whoa! That makes you think. What are you putting off because you think you’ll have plenty of time? Moses said you will get a heart of wisdom if you number your days. God may be gracious to you and allow you to live to eighty or even more but who is to say the quality of your life will be such that you can do the things you are putting off today.

Can you afford to waste time if you want to honor God with all you have including your time?

 

  1. (JT) Third Question …. From the physical side of life…

What is the best way to get back in training if you’ve had to miss due to illness, injury or life getting in the way?

  1. Bob and JT discuss…
  • Everyone has had this situation and will have.
  • Don’t try to do too much too soon or come back too quickly in volume and intensity.
  • Best to write out a “come back” regimen or better yet, consult a coach
  • Stick to the plan and gradually come back or you will pay the price with an injury an set you back.

 

Bob’s final comment – It takes discipline ….

 

Point: DISCIPLINE MAKES THE DIFFERENCE --- in all aspects of life
