Good morning!
Here is today's communion meditation.
Lately I keep thinking about the balance of paying attention to numbers/stats while also being focused on executing well
Sometimes we can get so focused on numbers that we lose track of executing the right way.
It could be stats at work, bodyweight, repetitions or lifts in workouts, finances, etc.
In sports whenever I focused on the stats the stats usually didn't end up very good.
But, when I focused on executing well the stats took care of themselves.
This reminded me that it was after the people entered the promised land that they were to start counting the years of the Sabbaths.
And it was after the Sabbath that they were to start counting the days until Pentecost.
Recently, we've talked a lot about the Sabbath, and I think there's a connection to the Sabbath rest and counting.
After we enter into the rest, then we count and see how we did.

Good morning!
Today's communion meditation is for the month of February.
This year our message/theme for the year is, "The Great Reset."
And our message for February is "Factory Reset"

A week or so ago my wife's phone wouldn't work. It wouldn't turn on or charge.
So, she took it to the phone store, and they did a factory reset on her phone, which got it working again.
A factory reset, is when the device is reset to the original state as when it left the factory or manufacturer.
In 2 Chronicles 24:13 the people were restoring God's temple, and it says,
"They restored the Temple of God according to its original design and strengthened it."
Our bodies are God's temple now, and he wants to help us be restored to His original design for us.
In today's communion we are asking God to help us be restored to his original design.
I am praying for you.

Good morning!
Here is today's communion meditation.
Revelation 5:9 says, " And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation."
Think about this for a moment... Jesus purchased us for God with his blood.
His currency was blood.
I've heard some people say that the currency in Heaven is faith, but faith in what... The blood of Jesus.
We were bought at a price.
In today's communion we are asking God to teach us about how we were purchased with the blood of Jesus.
Today's Health and Fitness Tip
The life of the flesh is in the blood. Blood brings oxygen, nutrients, and life to the cells of the body. Therefore, good circulation is one of the most important aspects of health. Improving mobility is a great way to improve circulation.

Here is today's communion meditation.
The other day we talked about how Paul told Timothy to continue in the things he had learned and become convinced of.
And we talked about Romans 4:21 which is about Abraham. It says, " He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises."
We also said that in Hebrew the word for "rebuke or convince, "can also mean to "give clarity."
In Revelation 3:19 Jesus said, "Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent."
The word used here for "reprove," can also be translated as "bring into the light."
And the word for discipline can also be translated as "teach, train, or educate."
So we could also read this verse as... Those I love, I bring into the light to train them, so that they can be excited to do things differently.
Today's communion is a time of gratitude that Jesus brings us into the light so that we can see clearly what to do.

Isaiah 1:18 says, " Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool."
The Hebrew word for "reason together," is the same word that means "convince," or "gain clarity."
In life we face decisions about which way to go, and God wants to give us clarity on his direction for us.
In today's communion we are asking God to help us reason together with him so that we gain clarity on the direction he has for us.

Hey everyone!
Here is this week's Yearly Cycle update communion meditation
It seems like every year in February God reminds me that we are a 3 part being... Spirit, soul, and body.
We often get focused on the physical aspects of health like nutrition and fitness, but the spiritual and emotional aspects are probably more important.
Health is a skill... simple habits that we grow in over time.
And a big part of health is developing our spiritual, mental, and emotional habits.
Things like Bible reading, prayer, gratitude, peace, and community are hard to measure but they play a big role in health.
In today's communion we are asking God to help us understand the way God designed us and to make any adjustments in our habits so that we can be abundantly healthy... Spirit, soul, and body.
I am praying for you.

The other day we talked about how Paul told Timothy to continue in the things he had learned and become convinced of.
And yesterday we talked about Romans 4:21 which is about Abraham. It says, " He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises."
As I was thinking about this Proverbs 28:23 kept coming to mind. It says, "Whoever rebukes a person will in the end gain favor rather than one who has a flattering tongue."
At first glance this verse doesn't have anything to do with becoming convinced but when I started to dig a little deeper, I discovered some interesting things.
The word for 'rebuke," in Hebrew can mean rebuke, reprove, correct, judge, or convince. And I came across some Hebrew teaching that says it can also mean "give clarity."
The word for "flattery," is usually translated as divide in Hebrew.
So we could read this scripture something like... Whoever...

This reminded me of Romans 4:21 which is about Abraham. It says, " He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises."
To be fully convinced means there wasn't any wavering or unbelief.
Everything was aligned in the same direction.
In today's communion we are asking God to help us become fully convinced that He is able to do whatever he promises.
Today's Health and Fitness Tip
In our workouts as we practice new exercises or new levels it is usually when we reach the point of being fully confident or convinced that we can do the exercise or level that we see a big surge of progress.
I am praying for you.

Good morning!
Here is today's communion meditation.
Lately God's been teaching me about the importance of taking a day of rest each week. God's given us the gift of rest, so that we can get refreshed.
But to truly rest it takes preparation. It takes work so that you can enter into the rest, because it's hard to truly rest when a bunch of things need to be done.
In the Bible the day before the Sabbath was known as Preparation Day. Mark 15:2 says, "Now when evening had come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath."
Something I have learned is that the more preparation is done before a rest, the more deeply we can rest.
In today's communion we are asking God to teach us how to prepare the way he desires so that we can rest and refresh on a deeper level.

Jeremiah 17:21 says, "This is what the LORD says: Be careful not to carry a load on the Sabbath day or bring it through the gates of Jerusalem."
As we rest each week, I think it's good to examine ourselves to see if we are carrying a load we shouldn't be carrying. If there some issue or problem that we are carrying the weight of, rather than giving it to the Lord, then we can have a weekly reminder to turn those things over to him.
In today's communion we are asking God to help us identify any load or burden we are carrying that we shouldn't be, and to turn it over to him.
