Today we continue with the Feast of Purim. Yesterday we finished fasting and today is the time of joy and feasting. Today is a reminder for us that God can turn things around quickly and create turning points in our life. I think of today as the turning point of the year. A turning point doesn't always mean that everything is instantly fixed today but it means that the situation turns in the other direction and the trajectory changes going up rather than down.
Think of taking a car trip and you are heading in the wrong direction. The moment you turn around and start heading in the right direction is the turning point and it is only a matter of time before you reach your destination. As long as you were going in the wrong direction there was no chance of getting to the destination.
Today's communion is a time of gratitude that God can create turning points in our life and he can do it any day, not just today. And we are asking him to create a turning point today in area that is going the wrong direction.
Today's Workout/Health Tip
I think of three key areas of health... Nutrition, sleep/energy, and exercise. Think of this spiritually... We eat spiritually by taking in God's word, then we must metabolize it and convert it into energy through meditation, and then we must exercise or apply what we are learning. In our physical health we also need these three to truly have Abundant Health and sleep/energy is the converter in the middle that makes our exercise so much better. If you are having a hard time with sleep it impacts on your exercise. If you have struggled with sleep let today be a turning point in that area. God has made several promises in the Bible about giving us sweet peaceful sleep. Let's make the decision to receive these promises from him today and start praising and thanking him for these promises every night before bed.
I am praying for you.
Daniel
