Good morning!
Here is today's communion meditation.
This year we've been talking about a "Great Reset."
And this month our message is, "Metabolic Reset."
Part of resetting is cleaning out the old so that the new can be started.
We are a week away from Passover, next Monday 4/22, and in the Old Testament this would have been a time when the people were cleaning out the old leaven to make room for the new.
1 Corinthians 5:7-8 says, "Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Therefore let us keep the feast, not with the old bread, leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and of truth.…"
I think of Passover like a 10x communion meal, and a reminder to clean out our old ways, patterns, beliefs, systems, etc to make room for the new things God wants to do this year.
Today's communion is a time of gratitude that Jesus is our P...
Good morning!
This week I'll be taking a scheduled week off of communion meditations. This is something I'm starting to do every 7th week.
But, yesterday I was reminded of something from my book "The 8th Date," that I wanted to share.
During the spring of the year is when the Bible says that kings go to battle. And the biggest area of battle is in our mind, which is where communion can help us turn the battle.
Here is the excerpt from "The 8th Date."
In Isaiah 28:6, God says he will give strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate. If we will stand firm in our minds by keeping them fixed on the things above, God will give us strength to win the battles at the gate. The best way to win the battle at the gate is by taking communion regularly. Communion turns the battle by changing our focus.
When stress, fear, worry, or discouragement arise in our imaginations, we can take communion as a point of remembrance to stir up our memory of God working for our good. Communion ...
Hey everyone!
Here is this week's Yearly Cycle update communion meditation.
In 2 Samuel 11:1 it says, "In the spring of the year, the time when kings go out to battle."
In the Spring there may be some battles, but this is an important time to remember that God always causes to triumph(2 Corinthians 2:14).
As you go throughout the next week keep remembering that God always causes you to triumph in Christ.
I am praying for you.

Good morning!
Here is today's communion meditation.
This month our message is, "Metabolic Reset."
Metabolism involves breaking something down in order to convert it into something useful. Metabolism also involves building up.
Jude 1:20-21 says, "But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life."
The original Greek words for "building yourself up," can mean to build upon a foundation according to a preset pattern or plan.
In Christ, we can build ourselves up into the pattern of Christ.
In today's communion we are asking God to help us build ourselves up in our most holy faith and keep ourselves in his love the way he desires.

This month our message is, "Metabolic Reset."
Metabolism involves breaking something down in order to convert it into something useful. And if you study metabolism, it also involves building up.
Hebrews 3:4 says, "For Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself. 4 And every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything."
Today's communion is a time of gratitude that God is the builder of everything and that Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory.

To be a wise master builder of our bodies we need to train with design and purpose rather than just going through the motions of a workout. And when we train we need to learn to send the signal to the body to adapt, grow, and build and then trust God to get to work building our bodies so that we build strength, muscl...

Metabolism involves breaking something down in order to convert it into something useful. And if you study metabolism, it also involves building up.
Yesterday we looked at Proverbs 24 which says that wise people are builders.
1 Corinthians 3:10 says, "By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise master builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care."
By grace we can be wise master builders.
In today's communion we are asking God to help us be wise master builders.

Metabolism involves breaking something down in order to convert it into something useful. And if you study metabolism, it also involves building up.
Once something is broken down the building blocks can be used to build the body.
Proverbs 24:3 in the Passion Translation says, " Wise people are builders — they build families, businesses, communities. And through intelligence and insight their enterprises are established and endure."
In today's communion we are asking God to help us be wise builders the way he desires.

Good morning!
Today's communion meditation is for the month of April.
This year our message/theme for the year is, "The Great Reset."
And our message for April is "Metabolic Reset"
All throughout scripture a phrase is repeated... "If we would see with our eyes, hear with our ears, understand with our hearts, and turn then all of the good things we are looking for are on the other side of this process.
The word for turn can also be translated as convert.
Metabolism is really just a turning, conversion, or transformation of something into a usable form.
We metabolize spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically.
In today's communion we are asking God to help us reset the way we metabolize in every area of our lives.
am praying for you.

Hey everyone!
Here is this week's Yearly Cycle update communion meditation.
The Spring is a reminder of a fresh start. During this time of the year when everything is coming back to life it all points to the resurrection of Jesus.
It's a time to remember that we've been given a fresh start in Christ.
As we celebrate Easter let's take some time to give thanks that we've been given a fresh start.
I am praying for you.

Good morning!
Here is today's communion meditation.
All throughout scripture God says to remember and not forget him.
As we approach Easter this is a powerful time of remembrance of all that Jesus did for us.
I always find it interesting that after Jesus multiplied the fish and loaves the disciples got into the boat and started fighting with one another about not having enough bread. Jesus was astonished at how quickly they forget what had just happened.
In life it can be easy to forget that we have God with us.
Today's communion is a time of remembrance for the sacrifice of Jesus.

It's also easy to forget that God is with you while doing workouts. Keep remembering that he is there with you, and wants to help.
