“And they continued
daily…breaking bread from house to house.” (Acts 2:46 )
Set aside a time each day to
spend with the Lord in His word and communion or fellowship with Jesus. You do
not have to be in a church or have a pastor preside over the elements. You are
the temple of God and a priest under your High Priest, Jesus
the Christ. His death, burial and resurrection was for you, and for each of us.
I suggest that you set up your
table with juice and a cracker or Matzo bread. Bless them to become the body
and blood of Jesus.
Before you partake of them read and meditate on Psalm 23 as you see the body and blood of Jesus in front of you.
Think about how Jesus is our
Shepherd. We belong to Him. He provides everything we need; love, food,
shelter, and a new beginning each morning filled with His mercies. We get a new
start each and every morning. Praise God!
When we use the authority of His
name, and receive the power of His Spirit, the warring angels of heaven back us
up. If we will walk with Him, He will lead us through the dark places of our
soul.
In the mist of our darkest times
we are invited to His table to commune with Him and to seek His direction. Then
we can rest in His presence knowing the enemy has already been defeated.
This Psalm promises His goodness
and mercies will come. Watch for them!
Take Communion: today we eat of
His body that has been broken for us. By His stripes we are healed. His
internal bruising became the payment for healing and depression. His
forgiveness on the cross released us from eternal punishment. This is the great
exchange. Give Him your problems and receive His mercy.
We drink of His blood that
washed away our sin and made us into His new creation. This blood paid the
price for us to become sons and daughters of the living God.
This is a good time to finish
with a prayer of thanksgiving as we have become partakers of the unbreakable
covenant in His blood. Amen!
Blessings on your day!
