Hey Everyone!

Here is today's communion meditation.

 In John 10:14 Jesus said, "I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep."

He knows us and we can know him, just as Jesus and God are one, we can be one. 

Today's communion is a time of gratitude that Jesus is our good shepherd. And we are asking God to give us a deeper revelation of what it means for us that he is our good shepherd.

There is a Proverb that says a foolish person devours all he has. In your workouts be careful not to devour all of your strength and energy. Save a little for the next day. 

I am praying for you.

Hey Everyone!

Here is today's communion meditation.

1 Peter 4:10-11 says, "As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ."

Every time we speak, we can speak as one who speaks the oracles of God. These are words that come from him. 

When we serve, we can serve with the strength He supplies. 

Today's communion is a time of gratitude for the gifts God has graced us with. And we are asking him to help us always speak as those who speak the oracles of God, and to serve with the strength He supplies.

To speak the oracles of God, we need to spend time with him. Keep going for walks with God.

Hey Everyone!

Here is today's communion meditation.

Yesterday we talked about Matthew 20:28 where Jesus said, "just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Psalm 49:7-9 says, "No one can redeem the life of another or give to God a ransom for them, the ransom for a life is costly, no payment is ever enough—so that they should live on forever and not see decay."

The ransom that was required to set us free was very costly, in fact nobody but Jesus could have paid the price, but he chose to pay the ransom for us.

 Today's communion is a time of gratitude that Jesus chose to pay the ransom for us, and we are asking God to help us understand this.

Hey Everyone!

Here is today's communion meditation.

The other day we talked about how Jesus is among us as one who serves.

In Matthew 20:28 Jesus said, "just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

As I was reading this the other day, the phrase, "a ransom for many," really got me thinking. 

A ransom is a price paid to set someone free. One of the definitions of a ransom is, "a liberty price." 

In today's communion we are asking God to help us understand how Jesus ransomed us and set us free, and to walk in this freedom.

Sometimes areas of our body get bound up or tight. One of the best ways to set these areas free is with what I call "Touchpoints." Give the area a very gentle touch and then repeat whatever movement or stretch was causing discomfort. 

I am praying for you.

Hey Everyone!

Here is today's communion meditation.

Lately Matthew 11:28-30 keeps coming to mind. where Jesus said,

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

We often get so caught up with all of the things we have to do that we forget to rest in our soul. 

In today's communion let's let the breaking of the bread be symbolic of breaking any patterns we have of worry, stress, fretting, toiling, etc. 

And as we take the juice let it be an activation of finding a greater level of rest in our souls.

Taking a few minutes to stretch before bed can do a lot for you. It will help you rest better.

Hey everyone! 

Here is this week's Yearly Cycle update.

When I played baseball in college, the best year of my college career came when I was stretching regularly, and I would often have someone who was stretching me. The person stretching me would often tell me to "relax," and "to let them have it," but I had a hard time relaxing the muscles when someone else was trying to stretch me. I had to learn how to relax into the stretch and allow the person stretching me to do the work. 

We are in a season of the year where God likes to pivot, change directions, and reposition things—including people. If you are experiencing a shift or feeling a nudge that God wants you to make a shift, this feeling is probably from him. These shifts take place because God always wants to have people functioning in their highest capabilities. He will often shift things to bring out the best in us.

It is during this time that the repositioning will stretch us, and it can be hard to "...

Hey Everyone!

Here is today's communion meditation.

Yesterday we talked about how in Deuteronomy 30:19-20 God told the people to choose life or death, blessing or cursing. 

God always gives us free choice. We get to choose whether we will walk in darkness or the light, walk in God's ways or the world's ways, and he wants us to choose light. 

And one of the ways he choose life is with our words. 

Proverbs 18:20-21 says, 'From the fruit of his mouth a man’s belly is filled; with the harvest from his lips he is satisfied. 21 Life and death are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit."

In today's communion we are asking God to help us choose life with all of our words.

Hey Everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Here is today's communion meditation.

 In Deuteronomy 30:19-20 God told the people, "I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you today that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Therefore choose life, so that you and your descendants may live, 20 and that you may love the LORD your God, obey Him, and hold fast to Him. For He is your life, and He will prolong your life in the land that the LORD swore to give to your fathers."

God always gives us free choice. We get to choose whether we will walk in darkness or the light, walk in God's ways or the world's ways, and he wants us to choose light. 

As we celebrate Thanksgiving today, let it be a reminder that one of the best shortcuts to walking in the light is gratitude, because it helps us magnify the right things.

Today's communion is a time of gratitude that God gives us free choice, and we are asking Him to help us choose what he says is the best w...

Hey Everyone!

Here is today's communion meditation.

A phrase that's repeated all throughout the Bible is "the righteous will live by faith."

We are righteous in Christ. Jesus became sin so that we could become righteous. 

Lately I've been thinking about how living by faith means to be resting. 

When we are in faith we are confident in God's promises and we can rest.

In today's communion we are asking God to help us understand that we are righteous in Christ and to help us live by faith at higher levels.

There is no video or audio today due to technical difficulties.

Psalm 45:4 says,' Your instructions are glow-in-the-dark;"

Sometimes we walk through dark times, but even in those times God's instructions can guide us because they are glow in the dark. 

In today's communion we are asking God to help us rely on his instructions.
