Here is today's communion meditation.

 In John 14:3 Jesus said that he is going to prepare a place for us. This reminds me of the Old Testament where God sent his angel ahead of the people to prepare the way to the promised land.

It used to be that in ancient Jewish culture when a bride and groom were engaged, the soon to be groom would leave for about a year and go to his father's house. While at his father's house he would be preparing a place for his bride. And the rule was that the place he was bringing her to had to better than her previous home. About a year later, when his father said it was time, he would go get his bride. 

I am also reminded of the time when Jesus sent his disciples ahead of him to the upper room for the last supper. There was a room already set aside for that purpose. God had things prepared both in heaven and on the earth. 

Today's communion is a time of gratitude for the places Jesus is preparing for us both in heaven and on earth. 

Today's Health and Fitness Tip

A good thing to do is keep a pair of light dumbbells at your house, and periodically do some lifting with them. These don't need to be very heavy at all, the goal is to practice lifting and increase our activity. 

Recently we launched a new program called God's Plan for Accelerated Body Transformation. 

And tomorrow we are starting a challenge to have a 10 pound body transformation in the month of June. 

 I am praying for you.
