Here is today's communion meditation.

We are in the 40 days of Teshuva, which means turn or repent, and it's time to examine ourselves and change our ways. And recently I was feeling the nudge to ramp up my Bible reading. For many years, my pattern was to read a Proverb, a Psalm, and 10 pages of reading the Bible like a book every day. Lately my Bible reading had fallen back to about 4-6 pages per day instead of 10, and I felt like God was nudging me to increase it to 10 pages per day again. 

After only a couple of days of this it's hard to describe the difference it made, but it does make a huge difference. I could tell a difference in my body almost immediately, and I began to get flooded with new insights and revelation. 

Proverbs 4:21-22 says, "My son, pay attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. 21Do not lose sight of them; keep them within your heart. 22For they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh."

And Proverbs 1:23 says, "If you had repented at my rebuke, then surely I would have poured out my spirit on you; I would have made my words known to you."

I find these verses interesting because his rebuke to me in this case was a very gentle nudge that could have been missed, which reminds me of the importance of paying close attention to his leading, because it can be easy to miss. 

In today's communion we are asking God to help us keep his word consistently in our eyes, ears, and heart the way he desires, so that they are life and health to us.
