BB –  We are talking today about  “The Pleasure Of The Lord”

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

7. Bob – POINT:  It’s important to know what pleases God and what doesn’t….

One Scripture is quite clear….

Isaiah 53:10 (KJV) — 10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: When thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, He shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.

12. 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…

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

I want to know more about that test you and JAN took 25 years ago? And how you relate that to learlning to please God.

14. Bob & JT discuss

1 Peter 3:7 (KJV 1900) — 7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

Hebrews 11:6 (KJV 1900) — 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Hebrews 11:4 (ESV) — 4 By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God commending him by accepting his gifts. And through his faith, though he died, he still speaks.

Hebrews 11:5 (ESV) — 5 By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God.

Hebrews 11:7 (ESV) — 7 By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household. By this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.

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

How can we mentally handle the fact that we CAN really please God?

16. Bob & JT discuss

• THREE USES OF THE LAW

Exodus 20:1–17 (ESV) — 1 And God spoke all these words, saying, 2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 3 “You shall have no other gods before me. 4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5 You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments. 7 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain. 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. 12 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you. 13 “You shall not murder. 14 “You shall not commit adultery. 15 “You shall not steal. 16 “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. 17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s.”

Romans 8:14–16 (ESV) — 14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” 16 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,

17. Third question … Turning to the Physical

Since we both have been young and now we are older… should we still be trying to train hard or should we give in to giving up? (I think I know what you are about to say… but say on…._)

18. Bob & JT discuss

According to Chris Carmichael…. (our age – hip and knee replacement)

To generations 50 and over --- Baby boomers and Gen Xers

Four myths..

1. All performance markers get worse after age 50 --- NOT SO FAST… there are many who are making gains… and others avoiding losing by active and dedicated training.
2. Older athletes can’t or shoudn’t sprint – WRONG AGAIN --- Athletes cant’s sprint because they don’t. Maybe throwing in some sprints would do us good.
3. Older athletes can’t handle high training loads – WHOA – older athletes are more in tuned to their bodies and their time… so they are smarter
4. Older athletes can’t recover to do back to back hard days COME ON – granted it does take longer to recover but if you train smarter you also work on nutrition and sleep to make sure you are recovered. Maybe it does mean turning in earlier but recovery can be achieved to go out for multiple days.

Bottom Line – DON’T LISTEN TO MYTHS…

Any other thoughts JT?

Bob’s final comment – It takes discipline to train as you get older and your friends. think you are crazy… but the dividends will make it worth while as. you hold your own or make improvements, while others are sitting in their easy chairs.

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