More Precious Than Gold
Here is today's communion meditation.
Lately we've been talking about James 3:17 which says, " But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere."
Wisdom from above is first of all pure, it purifies our heart, motives, and desires.
And we talked about Revelation 21:21 which says, "The great street of the city was of gold, as pure as transparent glass."
Purity creates clarity and transparency.
These verses reminded me of 1 Peter 1:6-7 which says, "In this you rejoice greatly, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, so that the genuineness of your faith, which is much more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested and purified by fire, may be found to result in [your] praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ."
Going through the fire can purify our faith. Psalm 66:12 says "we went through fire and water but you God brought us to an abundant place."
Today's communion is a time of gratitude that our faith is more precious than gold. And that we can trust that when we are going through the fire God is bringing us to a beautiful place.

Exercise is supposed to be fun and enjoyable. When we take a gentler approach, it becomes something to look forward to.
I am praying for you.
