Out of the Mouth of Babes

Uncategorized Jun 27, 2023
 

Listen to the Podcast

Here is today's communion meditation.

This month our message is "Walking in God's Best Today."

In Matthew 21:16 it says, "“Do You hear what these are saying?” And Jesus said to them, “Yes. Have you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have perfected praise’?”

 Jesus is quoting Psalm which says, "From the mouth of infants and nursing babes You have established strength Because of Your adversaries, To make the enemy and the revengeful cease.

This verse is translated in several different ways. For example, "established strength," is also translated as "ordained/perfected praise."

Recently we talked about how God told both Abraham and Solomon that if they would walk before him and be complete/whole/perfected that he would establish them. 

And the word for praise in Matthew 21:16 comes from a word that also means, "story."

So it could read, out of the mouth of babes and infants You have perfected our or your story.

Cease & Desist

Here is today's communion meditation.

This month our message is "Walking in God's Best Today."

 Psalm 8:2 says, "From the mouth of infants and nursing babes You have established strength Because of Your adversaries, To make the enemy and the revengeful cease.

This verse is translated in several different ways. For example, "established strength," is also translated as "ordained praise."

But something interesting I found is that the Hebrew word for silencing the enemy or getting him to cease uses a word that can mean cease, desist, or rest. 

This month we have been talking about walking in God's ways, and Proverbs 16:7 says that whenever a man's ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies be at peace with him.

In today's communion we are asking God to help us understand Psalm 8:2 and how to practically apply this verse to our lives so that God causes the enemy to cease and desist from anything he has been up to so that we have rest on every side.

Walking Together

Listen to the Podcast

Here is today's communion meditation.

This month our message is "Walking in God's Best Today."

Amos 3:3 says, "Do two men walk together unless they have made an appointment?

This verse could also be translated as... Do walk in unity unless they are in agreement?

We have been talking about walking in step with God, but this means being synchronized with him and his timing. 

Which means we need an appointment. Something simple we can do is set an appointment to go for walks with God. Life has a way of trying to throw all kinds of things at us to disrupt our appointments with God. 

In today's communion we are asking God to help us have set times to walk with him.

Today's Health and Fitness Tip

In our workouts I think we also need a non-negotiable appointment with ourself, because it can be easy to push this aside if it's not prioritized. 

I am praying for you.

Walking In Step

Listen to the Podcast

Here is today's communion meditation.

This month our message is "Walking in God's Best Today."

 Psalm 1:1 says, "Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked."

And Galatians 5:25 says, "Since we live by the Spirit, let us walk in step with the Spirit."

Walking in step with God makes me think of rhythm or dance. We can walk in rhythm and harmony with him. Our life is like a beautiful song and when we walk in step with God, we walk in his beautiful timing, that we can't make happen on our own.

In todays communion we are asking God to help us walk in step with him.

Today's Health and Fitness Tip

through the years of working with clients in the gym one of the biggest things I saw that derailed people was getting out of rhythm. Once you get into a good rhythm make sure to defend your rhythm and get back on track quickly if you fall out of rhythm.

I am praying for you.

Always on Time

Uncategorized Jun 23, 2023
 

Listen to the Podcast

Here is this week's Yearly Cycle update.

During this season of the year, God wants to prove to us that his timing is perfect. He will not be too early or late, but always right on time. In late June and early July, God wants to expand your vision—and his timing will be perfect. Make sure to stay tuned in by continuing to walk with him. This time of year has a lot to do with understanding his timing.

One day in this time period several years ago, my daughter was playing the piano, using an app that lights up in green when she played the correct note at the correct time. Playing the note early or late isn’t good. Imagine listening to your favorite song, but the timing of the beat is off. When we listen to music, it is obvious when someone plays the wrong note at the wrong time.

Our life is like a song. And God wants to help us play the right note at the right time. He will make sure that the timing is perfect, but this takes trust. Here’s the take-home message f...

This is the Way... Walk In It

Listen to the Podcast

Here is today's communion meditation.

This month our message is "Walking in God's Best Today."

Isaiah 30:21 says, "Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”

God is faithful to show us the way to walk in, but we have a choice of whether to follow his way.

The other day we talked about how God can transform our life very quickly, and I think one of the keys is to walk in the way he shows us. 

Today's communion is a time of gratitude that God shows us the way to walk in. 

Today's Health and Fitness Tip

If you are doing 10 reps of an exercise, think of it as 1 rep 10 times. This keeps you focused on the present rep and actually makes it easier to get to 10 reps. 

I am praying for you.

In the Twinkling of an Eye

Listen to the Podcast

Here is today's communion meditation.

If we thought about it, we could probably think of all kinds of ways we could destroy our life in one day. But, when we think of transforming our life for the good, we think of the process and steps that are needed rather than an instant transformation. 

But, never forget that change can happen in a moment. God can change our life for the good in one moment.

1 Corinthians 15:51 says, "Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye." 

This verse is talking about when Jesus returns, but it's also important to remember that God can make change happen in a moment. 

This month we are talking about "Walking in God's Best Today," and don't forget that it can happen "today."

In today's communion we are asking God to walk in such a way that we him transform our lives rapidly.

Walk Before Me

Listen to the Podcast

Here is today's communion meditation.

Our message in June is... Walking in God's Best Today.

The other day we talked about the Call of Abraham and how God told Abraham "Go," which can be translated in Hebrew as go, walk, flow, follow, or continue.

And we get the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of the faith of Abraham. 

Genesis 17:1-2 says, "When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty. Walk before Me and be blameless. 2 I will establish My covenant between Me and you, and I will multiply you exceedingly.

In 1 Kings 9:4-5 God told Solomon something very similar, "As for you, if you walk before me faithfully with integrity of heart and uprightness, as David your father did, and do all I command and observe my decrees and laws, I will establish your royal throne over Israel forever."

These verses say almost the same exact thing and they both came after Abraham and Solomon had been walking with God for a num...

Many are Called but Few are Chosen

Here is today's communion meditation.

 The other day we talked about the Call of Abraham and how God told Abraham "Go," which can be translated in Hebrew as go, walk, flow, follow, or continue.

And we get the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of the faith of Abraham. 

In Matthew 22, Jesus told the parable of the wedding feast. Many people were invited or called to the feast, but most of them didn't accept the call because they were too busy. When it came time for the wedding feast, one of the guys who accepted the call didn't have his wedding clothes on, and he was kicked out. Then Jesus went on to say that many are called, but few are chosen. 

Today's communion is a time of gratitude for God's call to walk with him and we are asking God to help us walk with him in such a way that we are chosen, and that we would clothe ourselves in the righteousness we have in Christ.

Crowned with Victory

Listen to the Podcast

Here is today's communion meditation.

Psalm 149:4 NIV says, "For the LORD takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory.

The word "crowns," can also be translated as beautify, glorify, or honor.

And the word "victory," is the Hebrew word "Yeshua," which is the name of Jesus. Yeshua can be translated as salvation, deliverance, victory, welfare, and prosperity.

So this verse could read... God beautifies the humble with Yeshua (Jesus).

Today's communion is a time of gratitude that God delights in us. And we are asking God to beautify is in Christ, as we walk in humility.
