Build Yourself Up

Listen to the Podcast

Here is today's communion meditation.

Yesterday we looked at Acts 20:32 which says word of God's grace can build us up and give us an inheritance. While thinking about this Jude 1:20-21 came to mind which says, " But you, beloved, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God as you await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you eternal life.

And 1 Corinthians 14:4 says "The one who speaks in a tongue builds up himself, but the one who prophesies builds up the church. I wish that all of you could speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy."

I think there is a progression to this... The word of God's grace builds us up, then we can build ourselves up, and then we can build others up. 

In today's communion we are asking God to help us understand the importance of building ourselves up and how to do it the way he intended. And we are asking him to help us walk in this so that we build up the church.

The world has taught us to tear down and break down our body in order to get better. But I think we should be focused on building our bodies, which means a gentler approach. 

I am praying for you.
