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 … “The One Thing”
So JT What does that title bring up to your mind?
- Bob – POINT: Prioritizing is not an option. If we want to serve God, it must be a priority, other wise we are just toying with it. Look what Jesus said is the greatest commandment.
Mark 12:29–31 (ESV) — 29 Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

- JT – Question ONE - FROM THE SPIRITUAL SIDE OF LIFE….
What all is involved in our prioritizing God and His kingdom?
- Bob & JT discuss
- End of self
- Command of God
- Prompting by the Holy Spirit
- Help from the Teaching of the word (Holy Spirit)
- Encouragement from others (HolySpirit)
- New found joy, peace, etc.
- Trusting God to take care of the rest
- JT – Question Two… “FROM THE MENTAL ASPECT”
How can we mentally make God our priority?
- Bob & JT discuss
Writing it down on paper is a good start.
In fact if you write down all the things that seem to take priority, then actually place God at the tope it helps to see it.
Of course reviewing the scriptures mentioned in the article would help to cement into your mind the importance and benefits in prioritizing life around God.
- (JT) Third Question …. From the physical side of life…
It’s hot weather time so what can we do to prepare to workout in hot weather, stay hydrated, and recover from working out in hot weather?
- Bob and JT discuss…
Preparing: increase your intake of water and non-dehydrating fluids, pre workout slushy to help bring down your core before you workout. Particularly - 16-20 ounces upon awaking, 8-20 ounces with each meal, and carry a water bottle everywhere
During: consume cold fluids as much as possible, drink often, electrolyte drinks are important, watch for overload of sugar which will dehydrate you.
After: drink, drink, and drink, - watch the fluids that will dehydrate you - caffeine and sugar drinks..
Anything final thoughts on this JT?
Bob’s final comment – More is NOT necessarily better. It takes discipline to know when to increase your hours of training and when to back off, realizing the gain is not found in excess.
Point: DISCIPLINE MAKES THE DIFFERENCE --- in all aspects of life
