Good morning!
Here is today's communion meditation.
This month our message is, "Reset Your Position."
And we talked about staying positioned in the light and love, where all of God's blessings are. And we also talked about how life tries to pull us out of position, but the good news is that it only takes about 1 second to get back in position through humility, repentance, and gratitude.
1 Peter 3:17-18 says, " Be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure position. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."
Notice that we have a secure position, but we could fall out of position.
And the key to maintaining our position is to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus.
Today's communion is a time of gratitude for our secure position in Christ. And we are asking God to help us keep our position and reposition if needed by growing in the grace and knowledge of Jesus. ...
Good morning!
Today's communion meditation is for the month of May.
This year our message/theme for the year is, "The Great Reset."
And our message for May is "Reset Your Position."
One of the greatest skills we can develop in our walk with God is the awareness of when we are out of position... out of the light and love.
We access the light and love by faith and the symptoms are "Fullness and Fellowship."
Faith, Fullness, and Fellowship with God and people. And the shortcut to walking by faith is staying positioned in gratitude.
It's in the light that we have access to all of God's blessings... His love, his grace, his power, his energy, his provision, his health, his energy, his wisdom, his plan.
But life tries to knock us out of position. When we are out of position the blessings are still there, but we are out of position to receive them.
The good news is that it only takes about 1 second to get back in position through gratitude that God is with u...

Haggai 2:4 God is speaking to the people about restoring the temple and He says, " Be strong, all you people of the land,’ declares the LORD, ‘and work. For I am with you,’ declares the LORD Almighty."
The phrase "be strong and do the work," is also what David tells Solomon when he charges him to build the temple.
First we have to be strong, courageous, and decisive. Once the decision is made, we can get to work, and we can work trusting that God is with us blessing the work of our hands.
Today's communion is a time of gratitude that God is with us and we are asking Him to help us be strong and do the work he has called us to do.
Today's Health and Fitness Tip
Be strong and do the work is also a principle for workouts. Doing your heavier strength exercises first in the workouts, activates the body so that the work with medium or lighter weights feels easier.
I am praying for you.

Psalm 84:11 says, " For the LORD God is a sun and a shield; the LORD gives grace and glory; He withholds no good thing from those who walk with integrity."
God gives both grace and glory and this is a very powerful combination.
Grace in this verse can also be translated as favor, and glory can be translated as honor, abundance, splendor, and riches.
Today's communion is a time of gratitude for the grace and glory that God gives. And we are asking God to help us receive and walk in the grace and glory he gives.

God supplies the grace for exercise. On those days when it seems like you don't have enough energy, strength, etc remember that God is supplying the grace for exercise today.

Hey everyone!
Here is this week's Yearly Cycle update communion meditation.
We recently had Passover and we are currently in the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
This time of the year is a reminder that we've been released from darkness, transferred into the light, God has cleaned out the old and made us new. He planted treasure on the inside of us, and in this treasure is everything we need for life and godliness.
This time of year, is also a reminder to rekindle and keep the excitement in our relationships.
This week also starts the counting of 50 days until Pentecost. I think of this time like a 7-week sprint to Pentecost.
Where do you want to be 7 weeks from now?
Set a goal with a deadline of 7 weeks, because this is the time God wants to accelerate you into what he has for you this year.
I am praying for you.

Good morning!
Here is today's communion meditation.
We are currently in the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is a reminder that Jesus bore our sins so that we can be righteous, or in right standing with God.
Isaiah 53:12 says, " For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors."
Lately, I've been thinking about the verses saying "the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the righteous."
Something to meditate on... If Jesus became sin for us, does that mean that his wealth is laid up for us since we've been made righteous?
Today's communion is a time of gratitude that Jesus bore the sins of many, and we are asking God to teach us about any connections between Jesus bearing our sins, and the wealth that is laid of up for the righteous.

Good morning!
Here is today's communion meditation.
The other day we said that Passover is a reminder to be living by faith and that we are to go from faith to faith meaning that our faith is growing.
And yesterday we looked at 2 Corinthians 3:18 which says, "But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord."
Psalm 84:7 says about the people who make God their strength that, " They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion."
From faith to faith...
From glory to glory...
From strength to strength
These all imply growth, progression, and new levels.
In today's communion we are asking God to help us go from strength to strength the way he desires.

Here is today's communion meditation.
The other day we said that Passover is a reminder to be living by faith and that we are to go from faith to faith meaning that our faith is growing.
We are also supposed to be going from glory to glory.
2 Corinthians 3:18 says, "But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord."
Today's communion is a time of gratitude that we can behold God's glory. And we are asking him to help us be transformed into His image from glory to glory.

When I used to coach college baseball, we would record our players on video and have them critique themselves, which was like looking in a mirror. And these days with new technology players can get instant feedback on what they look like. Constant feedback allows us to make much faster progress in anything we do. It's...
Good morning!
Here is today's communion meditation.
The concept of a double portion is all throughout Bible, and often in the Old Testament wrongs were to be repaid in double.
This week is the 7 Days of Unleavened Bread, which is a reminder that Jesus was/is sinless, and Isaiah 40 says that he paid double for our sins, so that God can restore double to us.
And Zechariah 9:12 says, "Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope; today I declare that I will restore to you double."
Today's communion is a time of gratitude that Jesus paid double for what our sins deserved. And we are asking God to restore double to us.
Today's Health and Fitness Tip
One of my health and fitness mentors used to teach the "double," method. For something you really want to improve in your fitness, train it twice in the workout, by starting and ending with that movement.
I am praying for you.

Good morning!
Here is today's communion meditation.
Tonight is Passover, which also starts the 7 Days of Unleavened Bread.
The Bible tells us that the people kept the Passover by faith. By faith they applied the blood of the lamb to their houses, so that the blood would protect them and set them free.
Romans 1:17 says, "For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”
Every year as we come around to Passover again, it's a reminder to be living by faith, and I think that every year we should be going from faith to faith, meaning that our faith is growing.
Today's communion is a time of gratitude for the reminder that Jesus is our Passover lamb and that his blood protects us and sets us free. And we are asking God to help us grow from faith to faith the way he desires.
