Good morning!
Here is today's communion meditation.
This month we've been talking about resetting and expanding your vision. It's important to always have a vision or goal that is pulling you into the future so that you have something to be excited about.
Yesterday we looked at Habakkuk 2:2 where God said, “Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it."
In 1 Chronicles 28:19 when David was preparing for Solomon to build the temple he said, "All this,” said David, “all the details of this plan, the LORD has made clear to me in writing by His hand upon me.”
David not only wrote the vision, but he had every detail of the plan in writing from the hand of God upon him.
In today's communion we are asking God to help us write out every detail of His plan for us.

In Habakkuk 2:2 God said, “Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it."
Part of our vision or dream is that it needs to be written down plainly so that we can run with it and share it with others who can also run with the vision.
In today's communion we are asking God to help us write down our vision plainly so that we can run with it.

This month we've been talking about resetting and expanding your vision. It's important to always have a vision or goal that is pulling you into the future so that you have something to be excited about.
In Isaiah 42:4 God gave us an example of expanding His vision when he said, " “It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.”
It was too small a thing for God to only restore Israel, he expanded to include the Gentiles to the ends of the earth, which includes most of us.
When God expanded His vision, it meant light for people all over the world.
In today's communion we are asking God to help us be more like him by expanding our vision so that we can be a blessing to more and more people.

This month we've been talking about resetting and expanding your vision. It's important to always have a vision or goal that is pulling you into the future so that you have something to be excited about. But with visions, goals, and plans there is the opportunity to get frustrated and discouraged or grow weary when there are setbacks or delays.
Isaiah 42:4 talks about Jesus, and it says, "He will not grow weak or discouraged before He has established justice on the earth. In His law the islands will put their hope.”
Jesus doesn't grow weak or discourage on his way to his goal. And the good news is that we are in him.
In today's communion we are asking God to help us stay inspired and encouraged consistently by resting in Christ.

Hey everyone!
Here is this week's Yearly Cycle update communion meditation.
During this season of the year, God wants to prove to us that his timing is perfect. He will not be too early or late, but always right on time. In July, God wants to expand your vision—and his timing will be perfect. Make sure to stay tuned in. This time of year has a lot to do with understanding his timing.
One day in July a few years ago, I was playing the piano with my daughter, using an app that lights up in green when she played the correct note at the correct time. Playing the note early or late isn’t good. Imagine listening to your favorite song, but the timing of the beat is off. When we listen to music, it is obvious when someone plays the wrong note at the wrong time.
Our life is like a beautiful song. And God wants to help us play the right note at the right time. He will make sure that the timing is perfect, but this takes trust. Here’s the take-home message for this wee...
Good morning!
Here is today's communion meditation.
In my book "The 8th Date: God's Operating System for Abundant Life," the scoreboard we use for knowing if we are on track with life is "making other people great."
And yesterday we looked at Hebrews 10:24 which says..." And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds."
If you continue with this verse, it then says, "let us not neglect meeting together, as some have made a habit, but let us encourage one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.…"
In order for us to spur one another on we need to meet together.
But it is possible to have meetings that do more harm than good. You've probably had meetings you've attended that were a waste of time and left you feeling less energized and discouraged.
In today's communion we are asking God to meet together the way he desires so that we are spurred on and encouraged regularly.

...Good morning!
Here is today's communion meditation.
In my book "The 8th Date: God's Operating System for Abundant Life," the scoreboard we use for knowing if we are on track with life is "making other people great." And Jesus gives us several examples of what greatness is... Such as practicing and teaching the commandments and becoming the servant of many.
If our goal is to make other people great, then we need become skilled in what Hebrews 10:24 says..." And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds."
To spur on means to stir up, provoke, irritate, or bring to an angry dispute. It can also mean to provoke in a way that they must respond.
Think of a spur on a cowboy boot.
In today's communion we are asking God to help us make others great by spurring them toward love and good deeds.

We can also spur people on in their health and fitness, by helping them exercise, eat right, etc.

Here is today's communion meditation.
Recently I've been thinking about how to turn the lessons in the Abundant Life Blueprint into a game. All my life I have enjoyed sports and playing games.
1 Corinthians 9:24-25 says, "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way as to take the prize. 25 Everyone who competes in the games trains with strict discipline."
In today's communion we are asking God to help us compete in the game of life the way he desires, and to help us package the lessons of the Abundant Life Blueprint into a fun game.

Many people workout, but very few people train. There is a big difference.

Recently as I was reading through the book of Isaiah verse 26:12 stood out to me.
It says, "Lord, you establish peace for us; all that we have accomplished you have done for us."
It is the Lord who establishes us in peace, he makes our peace steadfast and consistent.
And we can look back with gratitude on all God has accomplished for us.
In today's communion we are asking God to establish peace for us.

Today's communion meditation is for the month of July
This year our message/theme for the year is, "The Great Reset."
And our message for July is "Reset the Vision."
It seems like every year in July God reminds me to keep expanding the vision. Having a compelling vision for the future is very important. It gives you something to work toward and get excited about. But, over time things evolve and change and the vision needs to be reset.
In today's communion we are asking God to help us reset our vision to be in alignment with his plan.
Let's spend some time seeking God on how he wants the vision to be reset.
I am praying for you.
Daniel
P.S. Remember the Master is with you, he loves you, and nothing is impossible for him.
