Remembering in Action
This month our challenge is to connect on a new level... With God, our purpose, our loved ones, and community.
So far, we have worked on bringing a new level of awe and presence to our time of connecting with God and on connecting spirit, soul, and body.
This week we are working on connecting with our loved ones and those closest to us.
We are going to do this with remembrance and using our imagination to cherish them. The definition I use for cherishing is... To keep people from pain and give them the desires of their heart.
This week we are going to use our imagination and remembrance to better cherish our loved ones.
In Hebrew the word "zakar," means remembrance in action. It is remembrance that stirs to action. For example, imagine a man's anniversary is coming up. If he remembers the anniversary but doesn't do anything for his wife, she will think he forgot. But, if the guy remembers and buys flowers, takes his wife on a date, etc then his remembering was paired with action.
Jesus said as often as we take communion to "remember," him. I think the remembrance he is looking for is remembrance with action. He wants us to remember him so that we live in a way that rests and trusts in him.
In today's communion we are asking God to help us walk in a greater level of remembrance with action from this point on in our lives.
Today's Health/Fitness Tip
In the workouts there will be high and low days. Low days are days when we don't feel like working out or have a busy schedule and have to find a way to get it in. These low days are often the key to better high days. Keep showing up with presence and joy on the low days and it will lead to new bests and breakthroughs.
I am praying for you.
Daniel
