Good morning!
Here is today's communion meditation.
The other day we talked about John 1:5 which says,
" The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."
And we talked about how Jesus said to be of good cheer when we face problems, because he has overcome the world.
This reminded me of 1 John 5:4, "“For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.”
In today's communion we are asking God to help us understand how our faith brings us into the light and helps us overcome darkness and the world.
Today's Health and Fitness Tip
As we develop strength, we are growing in the ability to overcome a greater level of resistance. And to grow stronger takes consistent practice. Strength comes through practice and repetition.
I am praying for you.

Good morning!
Here is today's communion meditation.
This month our message is, "Factory Reset."
A factory reset is when a device is restored to the way it was when it left the factory.
I think part of a factory reset for us this month is resetting the way we view "today."
We often go through the motions of the day and get stuck in ruts of doing the same things over and over again.
But today is a gift.
Psalm 118:24 says, " This is the day the Lord has made;We will rejoice and be glad in it."
In today's communion we are asking God to help us reset the way we view "today."
Today's Health and Fitness Tip
Make the most of your workout today. Much of this has to do with the way you show up.
I am praying for you.

Good morning!
Here is today's communion meditation.
Lately I've been thinking about a verse in John 1:5 which says,
" The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."
In life we will face issues and problems, but Jesus said to be of good cheer, because he has overcome the world.
If you are walking in the light... Keep remembering that darkness can't overcome the light.
In today's communion we are asking God to help us understand the light he has put within us and how His light overcomes darkness.
Today's Health and Fitness Tip
On the days when you are lower in energy and don't feel like exercising ask yourself this question... "What can I do?"
I am praying for you.

Good morning!
Here is today's communion meditation.
Recently we talked about how Jesus, "purchased us with His blood," and how it's interesting that His blood was the currency used.
The other day I came across another scripture that combines the ideas of currency and blood.
In Genesis 9:5 it says, "And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each human being, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of another human being.
Blood demands an accounting, which is another financial term.
In today's communion we are asking God to teach us about the connection between accounting and the blood of the covenant.
Today's Health and Fitness Tip
Are you tracking your progress in your workouts? Accounting is tracking.
I am praying for you.

Good morning!
Here is today's communion meditation.
How do we respond when we are at a crossroads in our lives? Crossroads can be defining moments.
In Genesis 11:31 it says, " Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, the wife of his son Abram, and together they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to Canaan. But when they came to Harran, they settled there."
Abraham's father Terah left his country to go to Canaan, which was the promised land. But when he reached Harran, he settled there. Haran means "crossroads." When Terah reached a crossroads, he settled there and didn't keep going to the promised land. I think this is why God had to later call Abraham to leave Harran and go to Canaan, because his father had stopped, he didn't keep pressing on to what God had for him.
In today's communion we are asking God to help us to courageously keep moving toward what he has for us when we reach a crossroads.
Today'...
Good morning!
Here is today's communion meditation.
This year our message is 'The Great Reset," and our message for February is "Factory Reset."
A factory reset is when a device is restored to the way it was when it left the factory.
The other day we talked about how in 2 Chronicles 24 the temple of God was restored to the original design... And we are God's temple now.
Jeremiah 30:17 says, "But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,’ declares the LORD.
Isaiah 38:16 says, "You restored me to health and let me live."
In today's communion we are asking God to restore our bodies to His original design for us.
Today's Health and Fitness Tip
We often know what to do but fail to take action. If we want a factory reset in our body it requires taking action. When we get started God starts working with us. Remember these 2 questions... "What do I know to do?" and "What can I do?"
I am praying for you.

Hey everyone!
Here is this week's Yearly Cycle update communion meditation
It seems like every year in February God reminds me how important our emotions are for our health.
Emotions are the translators between our spirit and physical body.
Emotions can be felt when they are stirred into the system.
Emotions are meant to give us feedback so that we can make adjustments.
Emotions will let us know when we are believing something that isn’t true.
And we can use negative emotional states as a cue to make adjustments. When we view emotions from this perspective, they are not good or bad. They’re simply feedback, allowing us to accelerate our progress by making adjustments.
I am convinced that germs don’t make us sick. We are exposed to germs all the time. Take a look back at the last time you were sick, and I can almost guarantee that you were in some kind of negative emotional state a few days before you were sick. These states lower our immune system, mak...
Good morning!
Here is today's communion meditation.
Revelation 14:13 says, "Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.”
The phrase, " Their deeds will follow them," really stands out to me.
I think of this kind of like investing into things that compound and earn passive income.
The good things that we do will keep working and compounding even when we are resting.
In today's communion we are asking God to teach us about this verse and help us keep doing good even when we don't see the fruit right away.
Today's Health and Fitness Tip
It takes stringing together a lot of good meals and workouts to see true transformation. It doesn't happen right away, and there can be the tendency to give up too early before your deeds have had the chance to compound. If you are doing the right things.... Keep going bec...
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.
Execute first... Then track how you did.
In today...
Good morning!

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.
