The Perfect Fit
This month our challenge is to connect on a new level... With God, our purpose, our loved ones, and community.
This week we are connecting... Spirit, soul, and physical body. One of the best ways for us to connect spirit, soul, and body is through praise.
Psalm 147:1 says Praise the LORD. How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and fitting to praise him!
The Hebrew word for "fitting," in this verse can also be translated as beautiful, seemly, or lovely.
I believe something God is showing me is that when we praise him it helps us to connect and fit everything together in our lives seamlessly and beautifully. Praising him expands our capacity to receive beautiful solutions to problems we face. Beautiful solutions are ones that we can never make happen on our own. They come from above and they are the perfect fit at the perfect time.
The word seamless reminds me of the clothing of Jesus at the cross. His clothing was seamless, woven from top to bottom. The word for top to bottom is the same word used when Jesus says we must be born from above.
Today's communion is a time of gratitude that God has beautiful solutions that he sends from above and they are the perfect fit... seamless. And we are asking him to help us expand our capacity to receive these beautiful solutions through praising him.
Today's Health/Fitness Tip
Let's focus on making our movement seamless and beautiful. This is one of the shortcuts I have found to experience God's grace flowing in our lives.
I am praying for you.
