In Genesis 15:1 God tells Abraham...
Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward.”
The word for very great reward is the Hebrew word sakar which means wages, pay, or in your service.
God promised Abraham that he would be in his service or working for him. When Jesus was on the Earth he told his disciples that if they had seen him they had seen the Father, and he was among them as one who served. The way we become great in the kingdom is by serving and we have a great king who serves us.
Today's communion is a time of gratitude that God is our wages, pay, and in our service and that he is always working.
Today's Workout/Health Tip
A great habit to develop is stretching before bed. Stretching is about the ability to relax. To be more flexible means allowing the muscles to relax more. And when the body can relax and open to a greater level it leads to less pain and stiffness, while improving strength, power, and endurance. The stretching routine I have been doing for a while before bed is very simple but effective. Practice the splits in each direction - front to back on each side and out to the sides. Then stretch both arms behind your back, both arms over head, and one arm behind the back with the other overhead trying to touch your hands behind your back.
I am praying for you.
Daniel
