I think we can all relate to the STAPLES commercial years ago where they introduced the easy button. You just pushed it and life became easier. EVERYTHING FELL INTO PLACE… Now life is not that simple, but there is a way to make things easier in your life.

 

5 things you need to have in your foundation to make life easier

 

Engineer called to look at a crack in a skyscraper… the building manager finds him the lowest level of the parking garage. 

 

 

 

 - 1  You gotta be a healthy.

1 Cor. 6:19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;

20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

Glorify - give it esteem, honor it

 

 

Physical health is the first step to mental and emotional health. 

 

Physical health is the key to energy fro everything else in your life. You need to have energy to read and pray, work and play. You need energy to put into relationships.

 

 - 2  Know how to handle your money.

 

The plans of the diligent lead to profit (Proverbs 21:5)

“The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.”

 

Provide for your household (1 Timothy 5:8)

“But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.”

 

Spend less, save invest, have 2 incomes or more.

The greatest stress in life is your choice… but the one thing that makes that stress a thousand times worse is lack of money.

 Tithe, you gotta plant your seed. 

 

  -  3 Find out your gifts, passions and talents and not only use those in the church but get a job using those. 

 

1 Corinthians 12:7-11 To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.

 

My buddy Roger says most people work until they have enough money to retire… then they go and do what they want and are good at. I am already doing what I want and I am good at…so I am retired and I get paid for it. 

 

 

 

  - 4  Don’t try to have a lot of friends. Just have 3 really good ones. 

 

Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. Ecclesiastes 4:12

A friend loves at all times,
and a brother is born for a time of adversity.

Proverbs 17:17

 

Notice most verses in the bible that talk about friendship talk about “A friend” NOT lots of friends. 

 

Make friends quickly and cut them away even quicker.

Know the best judge of wether or not a person would be a good friend is asking yourself this question.   Do you want to be like them in life right now? Their attitude, their relationships, their finances, the way they treat other people.

 

Remember you will never have a great relationship with others if you don’t have a great relationship with yourself. If you are toxic in your attitude you will be toxic in other friendships and you will blame others.

 * If you run into 3 buttheads in a day, you can be certain you were one of them. 

 

  -5  Remember in all things: Money, friends, skills, talents, intelligence…

You attract who you are becoming.

 

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed, by the renewing of your mind.” – Romans 12:2

 

Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
