Here is today's communion meditation.

 Psalm 139:16 NLT says, "Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed."

This is an amazing thought... God wrote a book about each day of our life before we were ever born. He planned very moment. The Hebrew of the word "laid out," can also be translated as ordained, fashioned, and like molding pottery. 

Today's communion is a time of gratitude for God's thoughts for our life, and we are asking him to help us step into and walk out the moments he has planned for us each day to the fullest.

I think part of the plan for today is moving our body. We are meant to move with God each day... and it is supposed to be fun and enjoyable. 

I am praying for you.

 Psalm 118:24 says, "This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it."

The Bible often stresses the importance of today, but it can be easy to think, "it's just another day."

But God has a plan for each one of our days, and our part is to rejoice and be glad in it. 

In today's communion we are asking God to help us understand how this is the day he has made, and to help us make the most of TODAY.

Something I have been thinking about is that it's the reps we do with presence and joy that really produce the best results. But, it can be easy to go through the motions. 

I am praying for you.

Our message for July is... Being Bold Leads to God's Best.

 Deuteronomy 30:19 says, "This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live."

But, how do we choose life...

Proverbs 18:21 says, "Life and death are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit."

We choose life with our mouth, and we can boldly choose to declare God's word over our life. 

In today's communion we are asking God to help us understand the choice he has given us, and to understand how to choose life and blessing with our mouth.

Over the next week pay attention to the words you use when speaking about your health and fitness. Anything you speak that is not the result you want, ask God to help you change your speech in this area. 

I am praying for you.

 Our message for July is... Being Bold Leads to God's Best.

Recently I switched things up and started reading my morning Proverb from the MSG version, because sometimes reading different translations can provide some good insights. 

Proverbs 22:17-18 MSG says,

"Listen carefully to my wisdom; take to heart what I can teach you.

You’ll treasure its sweetness deep within, you’ll give it bold expression in your speech."

Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks, and when we treasure the sweetness of God's word deep within us, eventually we'll speak it boldly. 

In today's communion we are asking God to help us listen carefully to him and treasure his word within us so that we speak it boldly.

Stretching before bed is a great habit that helps you feel great when waking up.

Psalm 3:5 MSG says, "I stretch myself out. I sleep. Then I’m up again—rested, tall and steady."

 Our message for July is... Being Bold Leads to God's Best.

1 John 5:13-15 MSG says, " My purpose in writing is simply this: that you who believe in God’s Son will know beyond the shadow of a doubt that you have eternal life, the reality and not the illusion. And how bold and free we then become in his presence, freely asking according to his will, sure that he’s listening. And if we’re confident that he’s listening, we know that what we’ve asked for is as good as ours."

In the Old Testament great precaution had to be taken to come into the presence of God. But because of what Jesus did, we can come into God's presence boldly and freely. 

In today's communion we are asking God to help us understand the gift that we have of being able to boldly and freely come into his presence, and that he hears us, and answers our prayers

 Our message for July is... Being Bold Leads to God's Best.

Yesterday we talked about how part of being bold is being strong and courageous.

And when we are strong and courageous can stand firm in the faith, unmoved by circumstances. 

1 Corinthians 16:13 says, "“Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.”

In today's communion we are asking God to help us stand firm in the faith the way he intended.

Today's Health and Fitness Tip

Stand firm in your consistency with your workouts and nutrition. One of the best ways to stand firm in the faith is by standing firm in gratitude. Staying positioned in gratitude consistently will help you stand firm in the faith. 

I am praying for you.

Here is this week's Yearly Cycle update.

During July, it seems God always reminds me of his favor. His favor surrounds us like a shield and is on us for a lifetime. And Jesus grew in favor with God and man. Favor is something we can grow in. 

The way we grow in favor is by doing good continually and looking for opportunities to be a blessing. And sometimes the greatest opportunities to grow in favor are disguised as problems. 

Problems we can help other people with are great opportunities to grow in favor. 

Here is our filter for this week... Grow in Favor

I am praying for you.

 Our message for July is... Being Bold Leads to God's Best.

Part of being bold is being strong and courageous. 

Joshua 1:9 says, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”

And Isaiah 41:10 says, “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

We can be strong and courageous because we trust that God is always with us, he will strengthen us, help us, and uphold us. But we have to keep remembering this because it can be easy to forget, especially when we are fighting against issues and problems. 

In today's communion we are asking God to help us be strong and courageous the way he intended because we trust that he is with us.

Luke 6:45 AMP says, "The [intrinsically] good man produces what is good and honorable and moral out of the good treasure [stored] in his heart; and the [intrinsically] evil man produces what is wicked and depraved out of the evil [in his heart]; for his mouth speaks from the overflow of his heart.

Whatever we store up, value, and treasure in our heart is going to overflow out of our mouth, especially when the pressure is on. 

In today's communion we are asking God to help us produce good consistently out of the overflow of our heart.

Every time you do a workout think of it like building equity in your body. Think of it like a small investment into your body, and the equity will be there later to draw from.

Today, July 19th is a reminder of God's favor. His favor is on you for a lifetime, and it surrounds you like a shield. 

Our message for July is, " Being Bold Leads to God's Best."

And there is a very close connection between boldness and confidence, but one of the biggest things that can steal our confidence is condemnation.

Romans 8:1, says "therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus

And 1 John 3:20-22 says, "Even if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts, and He knows all things. 21Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God, 22and we will receive from Him whatever we ask, because we keep His commandments and do what is pleasing in His sight."

Today's communion is a time of gratitude that God is greater than our hearts and we are asking him to help us walk free of condemnation so that we have boldness and confidence.
