Here is today's communion meditation.

In Matthew 20 is the parable of the landowner that hires workers for the day.

The master tells the first group of workers... " Go work in my vineyard and I will pay you a denarius." Notice they had an agreement.

The second group he tells... "Go work in my vineyard and I will pay you what is right." This group had to trust the landowner, because most people wouldn't take a job if the boss just said "I'll pay you what's right."

The third group he tells... "Go work in my vineyard." This group has no promise of pay at all. They simply obeyed and they ended up getting paid the most per hour. 

Then in Matthew 21 Jesus tells another parable of a Father who has two sons. He tells both sons to work in his vineyard, but only one goes, even though the other said he would. 

In today's communion we are asking God to help us walk in simple obedience because we trust that he will take care of us. And to understand how we are to work in his vineyard.

Today's Health and Fitness Tip

Our physical bodies have an amazing capacity for physical exercise, much higher than we think, but this capacity must be developed over time. 

I am praying for you.
