Those Who Kneel Down

Listen to the Podcast

Good morning!

Here is today's communion meditation.

The other day my daughter Reina got a Pocahontas doll for Christmas. She's been learning about Pocahontas at school, and she's been very interested in the history. And we were talking about what Pocahontas would do if she needed water to drink. 

Reina said she would probably go down to the river or lake and scoop up some water with her hands to drink. 

This reminded me of the story of Gideon, who was leading God's army. But, God thought that he had too many men, because God wanted to the credit for the victory. So God had Gideon test the men to see who would be in his army. 

In Judges 7:5 it says, "So Gideon took the men down to the water. There the LORD told him, “Separate those who lap the water with their tongues as a dog laps from those who kneel down to drink.”

Those that knelt down were the ones who were chosen, and I think this is a symbol of humility. Those that kneel down will be exalted and honored. 

In today's communion we are asking God to help us walk humbly with him so that he exalts us at the perfect time into the perfect position.
