Free & Fit Advent Challenge Day 14- Proverbial Prayers & Planks - Advent Devotions from Proverbs with a Word, Proverb & Exercise Everyday - Saturday 12/14/2024



Todays Word on December 14th is Think -

What if you could find peace whilst in the midst of your daily routine? Perhaps exercising and meditating whilst getting to your next location, or sitting at your desk and working through a light exercise routine or even on the way to the train in the morning practicing memory techniques to re-establish and reconnect you to your goals and aspirations. Spiritual formation is a concept practised historically within religious settings, such as lighting a candle for prayer, Georgian chanting or reciting liturgical words in communion.


Yet, today new methods can be used to find peace in spiritual formation whilst in a still, active or everyday human state.  The Free and Fit challenge has been written to develop spiritual formation in the midst of daily routine, city life and urban challenges.


Using scripture to provide participants with wisdom from the Bible, whether Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Atheist or of no faith the scriptures can challenge and inform our everyday lives with historical and life transforming wisdom.


Today’s Proverb is Proverbs Fourteen Verse One: "The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down."


In the Amplified this helps us to understand even more deeply: “The wise woman builds her house [on a foundation of godly precepts, and her household thrives], But the foolish one [who lacks spiritual insight] tears it down with her own hands [by ignoring godly principles].”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭14‬:‭1‬ ‭AMP‬‬

The difference between a good sales person, story teller, musician, public speaker or radio presenter is based upon their ability to successfully communicate the message. From sender to receiver we often over analyze the message, the medium and the modality forgetting the origins. The sender. We must understand the beginning, to allow ourselves to experience the middle and permit the end to happen.


Whether it is watching the first 10 seconds of a trailer, ten minutes of a TV series or digesting the news headlines as we scroll our news feeds we determine who deserves a shot at creating a new beginning in our life. If we allow just about anybody to determine our beginning we can be hurt, mishandled and even dismissed from creating our own story.


Let us today seek to check on our own beginning, our own story and who is writing our beginning. If we allow ourselves to just drift in this world we will truly be misled, misunderstood and misrepresented in our already chaotic, confusing and over crowded world where everybody seeks a new beginning. Choose your beginning, but make sure you are the one who writes it and who designs it. Where does our help come from when we seek ownership over our beginning? Do we attribute it to God or to ourselves?


”Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers. But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night.“

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NLT‬‬


Jesus was attributed to being present in 1 John and 1 Genesis, yet he was also attributed to being around those who were perceived to be wicked as tax collectors, as sinners and as the less than original creators of peace. In fact, many times we see Christ greeting the Disciples where they are without peace, then the beginning of Christs appearance is lost. The first appearance of Jesus at the Beginning of his resurrected self are met with doubt, fears and the Disciples being in hiding. The beginning is not always easy. The beginning is not always explained.


In conclusion, it is imperative that we understand that God in Christ Jesus our Lord has overcome the world. So much so that we can be bold, strong and courageous in the world.


”I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”“

‭‭John‬ ‭16‬:‭33‬ ‭NLT‬‬


Eternal Father, you gave to your incarnate Son the holy name of Jesus to be the sign of our salvation: Plant in every heart, we pray, the love of him who is the Savior of the world, our Lord Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.


“So it is good to wait quietly for salvation from the Lord.”

‭‭Lamentations‬ ‭3:26‬ ‭NLT‬‬
