In Whatever Do, Do It All For The Glory Of God!

Today, we are starting the week off right by digging into God’s Word on The Afternoon Drive! We dug into 1 Corinthians today and talked about worship!

It says in 1 Corinthians 10:31, Paul says “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” An example of this we talked about was exercising, and how that can be worship! It says in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 “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; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.” By taking care of our bodies and going out on a run, lifting, working out, we can use that for worship in taking care of the body God gave us. Our bodies are God’s temple, so it is good to take care of our bodies!

You will find by taking care of your body and eating well that your mind will start to become more clear. It will calm your anxiety and fear. Something about working hard with your body helps not only physically, but also mentally, emotionally, and spiritually! Even listening to worship music while you work out helps a lot too!

Cast your cares on Him for He cares for you!

What if I stumble? What if I fall? What if I mess up?

Sometimes when God calls us to something, these may be the questions that we first start asking. We’re scared to make mistakes and afraid of failure. But what if mistakes and failure is how we learn and become better?

God has a way of turning failure and shame into His glory and something beautiful. So why should we be afraid of failure? Should we be afraid of mistakes? God shows us that we never need to be afraid of failing or making mistakes!

The song from Consumed By Fire flips the questions of “what if” on its head in their song, challenging us:

“What if you ran through that open door?”
“What if your season of waiting was changing and leading to something more?”
“What if jumping leads to flying, and fear didn’t stop you from trying?”

You can listen to this song here:

Don’t let your “what if” questions keep you from the bigger plans God has for you! “Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares for you.” – 1 Peter 5:7 (NLT)

Today we played a game of Family Feud, and last week was a stumper! Here was this week’s prompt:

Jesus Has ALL Authority!!

WNZR’s Verse Of The Week:
2 Corinthians 3:17 “For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”

We want to start your week off right on Monday Motivation today! Today we talked about the authority that Jesus has over our storms, our fears, everything!

When thinking of the song “I Know A Name” from Elevation Worship and Brandon Lake, which we listened to on The Afternoon Drive, we thought of the story when Jesus calmed the storm on the boat with His disciples. The waves and storms listen and obey to every command of Jesus, who has all authority over everything. It’s so encouraging and comforting knowing that He has the first and final say in everything!

We looked at this part of Scripture today:
Mark 4:38-41
“38Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?” 39When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence! Be still!” Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm. 40Then he asked them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?” 41The disciples were absolutely terrified. “Who is this man?” they asked each other. “Even the wind and waves obey him!””

We have nothing to fear for we know that Jesus is on our side!

We also listened to Forrest Frank’s “Your Way’s Better” during The Afternoon Drive, which reminded us of what it says in Isaiah 55:8-9:
“8My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. 9For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.”

Forrest’s song says “I searched the world ’till my head hurts, just to find out Your way’s better.”

Ask God to show you how to follow Him and what He wants for you life! It may be hard to understand, but know if you come to Him and ask Him to help you, He is faithful to hear you and help you to know His will, and will lead you through every step He wants you to take!

Today we had a Family Feud-style trivia question! Here was today’s prompt:

Name an animal that weighs more than 1,000 pounds.

  1. Elephant (77 votes)
  2. Whale (7)
  3. Hippopotamus (6)
  4. Grizzly Bear (4)
  5. Rhinoceros (3)

Forever Jesus Shall Reign!

Today we talked about some of the songs we get to listen to on WNZR, and highlighted the songs “Hymn of Heaven” by Phil Wickham and “When I Fall” by Katy Nichole.

In Phil Wickham’s song, we worship Jesus for Him and who He is. We know and remember in this song that Jesus is forever victorious and all-powerful, regardless of our circumstances, or what may be going on in the world right now.

Katy Nichole expresses through her song how we desperately need God’s help. Whether we’re on a high mountaintop or the lowest of valleys, we need Jesus. This song is Katy Nichole’s cry for help, and we related this song to the Scripture in Matthew 11:28-30, where it says “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.” He wants us to come to Him as we are. He is faithful to give us rest for us.

Today we played Mystery Monday! Here was the prompt we had this week, with the top four answers:

Name a common item people forget to take with them when leaving the house.

  1. Keys (50)
  2. Phone (25)
  3. Wallet (15)
  4. Sunglasses (10)

Praying Peace Over Us

Today’s Monday Motivation songs include Hope Darst’s ‘Peace Be Still,’ which includes the lyric, “peace over me.”

Hope says part of this inspiration came from her co-writer, Mia Fieldes, who was going through a life moment where she felt things were falling apart. Hope shares, “Her (Mia’s) vulnerability opened the door for me to share the anxiety and fear I was feeling in that same season. Neither of us felt peaceful that day, but we knew God promises us peace. So we chose to prophetically sing God’s promise of peace over our lives, our hearts, and our minds that day.” 

Name something you might find on a bulletin board.

  1. Thumbtacks or pushpins (30 votes)
  2. Calendars or schedules (25)
  3. Photos (18)
  4. Maps (14)
  5. Sticky notes or index cards or other notes (13)
