Faith depends upon the capacity to concentrate on what God can do until we confidently follow His direction with a burning obsession. He’s not distant but near and with technology we can work together to exert ourselves to do His work together. Here’s a video to help us concentrate on what He can do this day: Here Is Our King – David Crowder Band.
The strength of God and the beauty of His creation are being praised in Psalm 96. All aspects of God are being praised; His deeds are being praised, the heavens rejoice, the earth is glad, the sea resounds and all in it, the fields are jubilant and everything in them, the trees of the forest sing for joy. God is not distant but near.
Click on the Internet through your laptop, PC, iPad or phone and be reminded of His amazing truth throughout your day. It is impossible to be bored when we focus on God; singing, working together, telling others about His presence in all we see. This day with God will be amazing because we have a chance to encourage, build up others, and humbly pray for Spiritual growth.
What is “Labor Day”? It’s a federal holiday in the United States observed on the first Monday in September to celebrate the economic and social contribution of workers. Workers deserve a holiday. Think of the issues faced at work; people issues, personality issues, change issues, and technology issues. The people that work for any organization are very important and valuable for its success.
This past week, Texas Farm Bureau Insurance recognized this value in giving employees a free lunch and a fifty dollar gift certificate in appreciation for winning the J.D. Power “Highest Customer Satisfaction Among Auto Insurers in the Central Region”. We had the highest score in the central region and second highest score among all Auto Insurance companies in the United States.
Another way the company I work for has demonstrated the value it places in its employees is to set up a state of the art physical health workout facility at the state office headquarters. The better people feel, the better they can serve their customers. Some companies realize the tremendous benefits of their employee’s health so like Texas Farm Bureau Insurance, they’ve set up workout areas at the business and allow their employees to increase their physical health on company time.
Studies have also been made to show that faith has a positive effect on physical and mental health. Real faith is not just something you say or believe; it’s something you do. The athlete gains stamina and strength with exercise, the Christian gains faith by reading the bible and applying this to help others. To develop the “Just do it” attitude, we need self discipline. Keep in mind that the bible tells us that our bodies are the dwelling for the Holy Spirit so this should motivate us to have good habits that maintain our bodies. Also, through prayer we can receive directions and develop plans to be more self disciplined.
The mission of this blog is to demonstrate an instrument for Bible study that uses technology to develop a better way to study the Bible by integrating the principles or core values God gives into our daily lives at work and at home. The Bible teaches how to recharge our batteries. It is up to us to listen and receive the Spirit. Be excited about the future and live each day to the fullest. Today is the first day of the rest of our life. We should learn from the past but not dwell on the mistakes of the past. We should determine what we are enthusiastic about and what inspires us. It may be things like music, friends, Christmas, church, books, movies, travel, eating out, romance, gardening, painting, or sports.
In the old testament of the bible, the temple was burned down. The people put in a lot of hard work and time to rebuild the temple because it was so important. In 1 Co 3:16 Paul says “Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s spirit lives in you?” We all need to respect each other as the Temple of God. With this mindset maybe societies would be more self-disciplined. Proper eating habits and exercise would make everyone healthier. Young people would study and learn making the education system much better. Crime would hardly exist. There would be no stopping the economy as companies would flourish.
Next weekend, I will continue my thoughts on integrating good physical and mental health as a key principle or core value that God gives us to live an amazing life.

Each day with God is amazing because He gets our attention. It may be with a brilliant sunrise or it may be bathing in the warm sunshine. I would like to thank everyone for following, reading, and liking this blog. God Bless. 🙂
Each day as we turn our gaze to heaven and praise Him, we build momentum not only for ourselves but also for others. Here’s a video to keep the momentum going: O Praise Him – David Crowder Band.
Give thanks in all circumstances because God cared so much that He sent His Son to die on the cross. Value this victory He has given by holding it dear; using the momentum to keep your faith strong, your hope firm, and your love overflowing.
