The other day we did the communion meditation on No Good Thing Does God Withhold, and we discussed how God is not withholding things from us, but we do have an enemy who is trying to steal from us and delay what God is sending our way. As I was thinking about this I realized that withholding is a symptom of us being out of position. When we are not walking in the light it can feel like God is withholding from us because we are not able to receive or walk in all that he has for us. Also, when we are not walking in the light we have a tendency to withhold things from others because of fear or because when people do things we don't like we don't want to do good for them. 

As I was thinking about these things Romans 8:32 came to mind which says, " He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?"

God is freely and graciously giving us all things and no good thing does he withhold. Which means we must learn how to receive and walk in all of these good things. 

Today's communion is a time of gratitude that God loved us so much that he didn't spare his own Son, and if he would do that for us how would he not freely give us all things. And we are asking for his help to receive all that he has given to us in Christ and to walk in it consistently. 

Today's Health/Fitness Tip

Physical exercise is an opportunity to practice being more present. One of the easiest ways to do this is by focusing on one rep at a time. When doing 8 reps I think of it as one rep 8 times. This little shift makes a big difference. 

I am praying for you.
