Recently we started the 40 Days of Teshuva( Teshuva = turn or repent), which are the 40 days that lead up to the Day of Atonement. In the Jewish culture the Day of Atonement was considered the holiest day of the year, because it was the one day of the year when the High Priest could enter the holy of holies to make atonement for the sins of the people.
Part of Teshuva is examining ourselves and making adjustments. And one of the most important areas to examine is if we are walking in love.
1John 4:11 says, " Delightfully loved ones, if he loved us with such tremendous love, then “loving one another” should be our way of life!"
In today's communion we are asking God to reveal to us any areas where we are not loving well, and to help us turn it around, so that loving one another is our way of life.

Part of Teshuva is taking action consistently. Which reminds me of Luke 12:35-36
“Be dressed and ready for active service, and keep your lamps continuously burning. Be like men who are waiting for their master when he returns from the wedding feast, so that when he comes and knocks they may immediately open the door for him."
In today's communion we are asking God to help us be dressed and ready for active service with our lamps continually burning like he intended us to be.

Part of Teshuva is taking action and steps of faith. Which reminds me of Joshua 3:13 & 15.
And as soon as the priests who carry the ark of the Lord—the Lord of all the earth—set foot in the Jordan, its waters flowing downstream will be cut off and stand up in a heap.”
Now the Jordan is at flood stage all during harvest. Yet as soon as the priests who carried the ark reached the Jordan and their feet touched the water’s edge, 16 the water from upstream stopped flowing. It piled up in a heap a great distance away, at a town called Adam in the vicinity of Zarethan, while...

Part of Teshuva is getting things in order and Colossians 2:5 says, " For although I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit, and I delight to see your orderly condition and firm faith in Christ."
In today's communion we are asking God to help us be ordered and firm in our faith in Christ.

The order we use in our workouts makes a difference. The order that I have found is best is... Mobility, then strength, and then do the work.

In Revelation 2:5 Jesus said, "Repent and do the things you did at first."
For many of us, when we first believed, there was a level of excitement and energy about our relationship with God, and in all relationships there is a tendency for things to fade. But, we should remember to maintain the excitement and energy we had at first.
In today's communion we are asking God to show us any ways where we are not doing the things we did at first.

Yesterday we started the 40 Days of Teshuva, which are the 40 days that lead up to the Day of Atonement. In the Jewish culture the Day of Atonement was considered the holiest day of the year, because it was the one day of the year when the High Priest could enter the holy of holies to make atonement for the sins of the people.
In Acts chapter 3 people asked the disciples what they should do after the good news was preached to them. And the disciples said, "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, ( Acts 3:19)
In today's communion we area asking God to help us walk in the refreshing he has for us.

Today we start the 40 Days of Teshuva, which are the 40 days that lead up to the Day of Atonement. In the Jewish culture the Day of Atonement was considered the holiest day of the year, because it was the one day of the year when the High Priest could enter the holy of holies to make atonement for the sins of the people.
This time of year is a reminder that Jesus is our great High Priest.
Hebrews 4:15-16 says "For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need."
Today's communion is a time of gratitude that we have a great high priest in Jesus.

Lately we have been talking about walking in the fullness of everything God has for us.
John 10:10 says, " The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."
Jesus came so that we can have "zoe," life, which is the life of God or said another way, life connected to God, and have it to the full.
In today's communion we are asking God to help us walk in the fullness of the zoe life Jesus came to bring us.

When we increase our mobility it increases the amount of light in our body, so make sure to keep training your ability to move like a little kid.

1 Peter 2:9 says, "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light."
This is an amazing promise for us! We are God's special or treasured possession, and he has called us into his wonderful light.
Lately the phrase "his wonderful light," keeps coming up to me. Walking in the light is truly a wonderful place to be.
Today's communion is a time of gratitude for this amazing promise, and we are asking God to help us walk in the fullness of this promise.

John 1:16-17 says, "From His fullness we have all received grace upon grace. 17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.…"
We have fullness in Christ, whenever we are feeling unfulfilled it is because we are out of position because we are out of the fullness. When we are in his fullness we receive grace upon grace, think of it like one wave right behind another.
Jesus was also full of grace and truth. These two things are a pair... grace and truth go together, because they are Jesus.
In today's communion we are asking God to help us stay consistently in the fullness of Christ.
