4. Bob – POINT: When Moses makes his point about the need to consider how short our lives really are he makes a strong emphasis to “prepare to fly away”

9. 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…

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

I noticed your article went from the place of labor and toil in life to finding rest. How do we find a balance on that?

11. Bob & JT discuss

Labor is part of life because of the curse of sin in the world…

Genesis 3:17–19 (ESV) — 17 And to Adam he said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, ‘You shall not eat of it,’ cursed is the ground because of you; in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life; 18 thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you; and you shall eat the plants of the field. 19 By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”

Nevertheless, God is a gracious God who made provision for REST before sin even entered the world…

Genesis 2:1–3 (ESV) — 1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done. 3 So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation.

Then God even commanded man to take a rest one day a week in the ten commandments…

Exodus 20:8–11 (ESV) — 8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

Ecclesiastes 5:12 (ESV) — 12 Sweet is the sleep of a laborer, whether he eats little or much, but the full stomach of the rich will not let him sleep.

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

Is finding the rest that God provides the key to mentally facing the daily grind of life?

13. Bob & JT discuss

Isaiah 55:1–2 (ESV) — 1 “Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. 2 Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food.

Hebrews 4:9–11 (ESV) — 9 So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, 10 for whoever has entered God’s rest has also rested from his works as God did from his. 11 Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience.

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

What do you think is the best thing to do in the gym if you only have a short amount of time?

15. Bob and JT discuss…

• The latest craze is the HIIT workout (high intensity interval training)
• After a good warmup
• 8 to 10 sets of 20 seconds of fast and hard with 10 rest between

Have you done a HIIT workout JT? What did you think?

DISCUSSION

Benefits

Health and Wellness. Individuals who participate in HIIT training could experience an increase in aerobic and anaerobic fitness levels, improved blood pressure, increased insulin sensitivity, improved cholesterol profiles and decreased abdominal fat.

Bob’s final comment – It takes discipline ….

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