BB –  We are talking today about  “WHAT SHALL WE GIVE TO GOD?”

 

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

 

  1. Bob – POINT:  When we consider all the benefits that God bestows upon us constantly, we often wonder what we should give in return and the scriptures are very clear on this.

Psalm 116:12–13 (ESV) — 12 What shall I render to the Lord for all his benefits to me? 13 I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord,

  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….

 

I’m surprised that you didn’t say anything in your blog about giving our money in response to all that God has given to us. What’s up with that?

  1. Bob

Psalm 116:12–13 (ESV) — 12 What shall I render to the Lord for all his benefits to me? 13 I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord,

Romans 12:1–2 (ESV) — 1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Psalm 103:1–2 (ESV) — 1 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name! 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits,

2 Corinthians 8:1–5 (ESV) — 1 We want you to know, brothers, about the grace of God that has been given among the churches of Macedonia, 2 for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part. 3 For they gave according to their means, as I can testify, and beyond their means, of their own accord, 4 begging us earnestly for the favor of taking part in the relief of the saints— 5 and this, not as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then by the will of God to us.

DISCUSSION

 

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

What is an appropriate mental strategy should we have in our quest to render unto the Lord what is due Him in our lives?

  1. Bob

Psalm 103:1–5 (ESV) — 1 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name! 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, 3 who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, 4 who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, 5 who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

Focus daily upon the many benefits as blessing upon blessing from God which should create and fan the flame of gratitude…. Which leads to praising God …. Which in turn leads to sacrificial service --- OF time, talent, and treasure.

When you get things out of order, then we try to manipulate or are manipulated into giving which over the long run is not out of joy but out of obligation. Which is not good nor does it bring any joy to the giver.

Discussion

  1. Third question … Turning to the Physical

 

Let’s continued our discussion of walking this week and talk about the benefits of a “walking program” to help lose weight.

 

  1. Bob ---
  • Walking burns calories
  • Walking helps preserve lean muscle
  • Walking regularly helps reduce belly fat
  • Walking improves your mood
  • Walking will help keep weight off
  • Walking is proven to reduce the risk of disease
  • Walking helps improve the likelihood of living longer

 

What say you JT?

JT comments

Bob’s final comment – It takes discipline to start, stick to, a walking program which…. can be easily incorporated into your daily life, help you lose weight and belly fat, as well as provide other excellent health benefits, including a decreased risk of disease and improved mood. Walking just one mile burns about 100 calories.

 

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