    Intangibles Matter

    Here is today's communion meditation.  Yesterday we talked about blessing our spouses, and recently I came across a saying that it's the intangible things in relationships that really matter. Things like energy, connection, presence, honor, peace, and gratitude are much bigger factors in our relationships than the tangible things.  I once heard someone say that spiritual things are things that cannot be measured, and even though they can't be measured, their forces can be felt.  Romans 1:20 says, "For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse." This verse tells us that the invisible or intangible things can be seen and felt.  In today's communion we are asking God to help us understand the importance of intangible things in our relationships, and to help us become masters of the intangibles.  Today's Health and Fitness Tip It's also the intangible parts of health that are the most important. Nutrition and fitness are important but things like energy, presence, emotions, attitude, purpose, and connection have a much greater impact on our health.  Daniel

    Things are Going to Happen Fast

    Here is today's communion meditation. This year our message is "God's Saved the Best Until Now," and this comes from when Jesus turned water into wine. Turning water into wine is amazing, because wine takes a long time to make, but God can collapse time frames. Amos 9:13 MSG says, "“Things are going to happen so fast your head will swim, one thing fast on the heels of the other. You won’t be able to keep up. Everything will be happening at once—and everywhere you look, blessings! Blessings like wine pouring off the mountains and hills. In today's communion we are asking God to help us shorten time frames and have blessings pouring like wine off the mountains and hills.  Today's Health and Fitness Tip Something I have seen over and over is that if we give the body what it needs, the body responds very quickly. Timeframes can also be shortened.  Daniel

    Continue to Build and Prosper

    Here is today's communion meditation. In the book of Ezra, the Jewish people are working to restore the temple of God. And in Ezra 6:14 it says, "So the elders of the Jews continued to build and prosper under the preaching of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah."   So if the people continued to build and prosper under the preaching of Haggai and Zechariah... what did they preach? The book of Haggai is all about putting God first. The people were working on their own houses instead of God's and all of their work wasn't amounting to much. Haggai 1:9-10 says, "“Because of my house, which remains a ruin, while each of you is busy with your own house. 10 Therefore, because of you the heavens have withheld their dew and the earth its crops." We are told in the New Testament that when we seek first the kingdom of Heaven, all of the things we need will be added to us. In today's communion we are asking God to help us prioritize his things ahead of our own, and to show us any areas where we are not walking in this, so that we can correct them, and continue to build and prosper.  Today's Health and Fitness Tip Keep working on your mobility. What is a movement you have a hard time with... Start to practice this movement in an easy way and make steady progress over time.  Daniel

    Everything Hangs on Love

    Here is today's communion meditation. Matthew 22:36:40 says, “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” 37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’  40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”  Everything hangs on or depends on love, and faith works through love.  As I was thinking above this, I was reminded of Colossians 2:19 which says, "They have lost connection with the head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow." God is love, and he is the head, and everything depends on and connects to the head. When we stay connected to him, by walking in love, everything grows effortlessly and beautifully.  In today's communion we are asking God to help us understand how everything hangs on love and that he is love. And we are asking him to help us walk in love consistently.  Today's Health and Fitness Tip Everything is connected to the head. If you are experiencing joint pain during an exercise, try changing your eye position by looking slightly up, because it aligns the whole body.  Daniel

    Lift Up Your Head

    Here is today's communion meditation. Lately the topic of "lift up your head," keeps coming up  and the Bible has a lot to say about this phrase. Here are some verses to meditate on today. But You, O Lord, are a shield about me, My glory, and the One who lifts my head. Psalm 3:3 And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me, And I will offer in His tent sacrifices with shouts of joy;  - Psalm 27:6 Lift up your heads, O gates, And be lifted up, O ancient doors, That the King of glory may come in! Psalm 24;7 The Hebrew word used for "lift up," in these verses can also be translated as offering. There is a connection between lifting up our heads, an offering, and God's glory coming in.  And Jesus said in Luke 21:28 when the end time signs are taking place to, "straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” In today's communion we are asking God to help us understand what he is trying to teach us about lifting up our head, and the connection between offerings and his glory coming in.  Today's Health and Fitness Tip Everything is connected to the head. Where you are looking when doing an exercise makes a difference. Lifting up the head seems to align the body and increase strength and balance.  Daniel

    Lift Up Your Eyes

    Here is today's communion meditation.  There are a lot of Bible verses about lifting up our eyes. When we lift up our eyes we become more present and aware of all of the amazing opportunities God is bringing our way, but we often miss those opportunities because our eyes are down.  Here are a few verses to meditate on today: Genesis 13:14, "And God said to Abram after Lot had separated from him, "Now, lift up your eyes and look from the place where you [are] to the north, and to the south, and to the east and to the west." John 4:35 "Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest." In today's communion we are asking God to help us understand the importance of lifting up our eyes and to apply this consistently.  Today's Health and Fitness Tip Everything is connected to the head. Where you are looking when doing an exercise makes a difference. Lifting up the eyes seems to align the body and increase strength and balance.  Daniel

    Sowing and Reaping Together

    Here is today's communion meditation.  Yesterday we talked about John 4:35 which says, "Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest." In the next verse John 4:36 it says, "Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together." One of the themes in the Bible is that when God blesses people can have so much harvest that they will still be harvesting when it's time to sow.  One of the blessings for obedience to God in Leviticus 26:5 is "Your threshing will continue until the grape harvest, and the grape harvest will continue until sowing time; you will have your fill of food to eat and will dwell securely in your land." In today's communion we are asking God to help us understand how his blessing can cause us to both sow and reap at the same time, and to walk in this consistently.  Today's Health and Fitness Tip In your workouts reap the harvest by becoming more present and making the most of each day, while also sowing toward the future by working toward the next level of fitness. You can do this by practicing small amount of movements/etc. that would be the next level up for you. Daniel

    More Than Could be Written

    Here is today's communion meditation.  John 21:25 says, " Jesus also did many other things. If they were all written down, I suppose the whole world could not contain the books that would be written." This is pretty amazing to think about! How could Jesus do so many things in such a short amount of time? God has ordained or written about every moment of our day, and I think Jesus walked in the fullness of every moment God wrote about him.  In today's communion we are asking God to help us walk in the fullness of every moment he wrote about us.  Today's Health and Fitness Tip Make the most of every rep in your workout. If you are doing 8 reps, think of it as one rep 8 times. This causes us to get more present in each rep.  Daniel
