The Abundant Life Blueprint

Here is today's communion meditation. Our message for June is, "Walking in God's Best Today.' So far this month we've talked about how David charged Solomon to walk in God's ways and how Solomon showed his love for God by walking in his ways. In Genesis 12:1 is the call of Abraham. It says, "The LORD had said to Abram, “Go (halak) from your country, your people and your father’s household to...

Here is today's communion meditation. Our message for June is, "Walking in God's Best Today.' 1 Kings 3:3 says, Solomon showed his love for the LORD by walking according to the instructions given him by his father David. Jesus said in John 14:15, "if you love me, you will keep my commandments.  It is walking in God's commandments that shows our love for him. In today's communion we...

Here is this week's Yearly Cycle update.   In the summer, light is increasing. This is a time when God often begins to expand the vision and give us a bigger glimpse into his plan. During this time it's important to stay coordinated with His plan. Going for walks with God consistently is a great way to stay coordinated with him. Here is our filter for this week... Coordinate with God's P...

Here is today's communion meditation. Our message for June is, "Walking in God's Best Today.' In 1 Kings 2:3 David gives instructions to his son Solomon, who is about to become king and tells him, And keep the charge of the LORD your God to walk in His ways and to keep His statutes, commandments, ordinances, and decrees, as is written in the Law of Moses, so that you may prosper in...

Here is today's communion meditation. As Joshua was about to lead the people into the promised land God told him in Joshua 1:8... This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so  that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good succe...

Here is today's communion meditation. One of the themes all throughout the Bible is that God continually gets his people out of troubled situations, and Jesus said that we would have trouble in this world, but to be of good cheer, because he has overcome the world.  Proverbs 11:8 says,  "The righteous person is rescued from trouble, and it falls on the wicked instead.  Proverbs 12:1...

Here is today's communion meditation. One of the subtitles in Hebrews 6 is "The Certainty of God's Promise." Hebrews 6:17 says," So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath." Then it goes on to say that it's impossible for God to lie, and because of that we can hold fast to his promises...

Here is today's communion meditation. This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts. Recently we looked at Ecclesiastes 9:10 which says, "whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might.  There is a connection between these 2 verses because some of the same Hebrew words are used.  And it is often in the bal...

Here is today's communion meditation. 2 Corinthians 11:3 says, "But I am afraid, lest by any means, as the serpent in his craftiness deceived Eve, your minds might be corrupted from the simplicity and the purity in Christ." Notice in this verse that the enemy's tactic is to corrupt our minds away from the simplicity and purity we have in Christ. The context of this verse is about being devote...

Here is this week's Yearly Cycle update. We are in the middle of the year, which is a reminder to trust. And when we trust it makes life much simpler, because when we trust we can rest. But we must trust on 3 levels... Trust God, trust ourselves and become trustworthy, and find people we can trust.  God gives us the ultimate example of being trustworthy... He always keeps his word/promises, h...

Here is today's communion meditation. Ephesians 3:20 says, "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, God can do immeasurably(abundantly) more than we ever ask, think, dream, or imagine and the method he uses to do this is His power being put to work within us.  Recently we talked about Ecclesiastes 9:10 w...

Here is today's communion meditation.   Lately I have been thinking about what people really want out of life, myself included. I think we all want to feel like we are making progress, moving forward, and that all of the areas of life are working together harmoniously. There are so many different facets of life... purpose, connection, freedom, security, finances, health, nutrition, fitness, f...

Here is today's communion meditation.   Recently I was thinking about how busy and complicated life can get and God reminded me that it is community that simplifies life. Life isn't an individual sport but a team sport. We are meant to do life together in community, because it has the ability to simplify life and multiply our capabilities.  For a community to be functioning properly ther...

Here is today's communion meditation. In 2 Samuel 7:3 after David finally becomes king and is sitting in his palace the prophet Nathan tells him, " Whatever you have in mind, go ahead and do it, for the LORD is with you." Recently we've talked about a few scriptures that are similar to this. When Samuel anointed Saul to be king he told him that whatever his hand found to do, to do it because God w...

Here is today's communion meditation.   In our   Recording Your Journey Workbook   for the Abundant Life Blueprint there is a Monthly Prayer of Petition at the start of each month. This is a place to write out your requests to God for the month. And the process we use is to write out the prayer and then sign it like a formal agreement with God.  A few months ago, it seemed like...

Here is today's communion meditation. Ecclesiastes 9:10 says, "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might." The Hebrew word for "might," is "koach," which means the creative power of God. It also means strength, ability, force, substance, wealth, and a weird translation is the strength of a reptile.  Recently we looked at when Samuel anointed Saul to be king, and he told him th...

Here is today's communion meditation. Yesterday we looked at 2 Timothy 3:16 which says, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness." And we talked about the inspiration that comes from God's word, meaning it is God-breathed. One definition of inspire is to give the urge or ability to take action. A...

Here is this week's Yearly Cycle update.   After Pentecost we crossed over to the other side of the year. There is an offensive side of the year, and a defensive side. We are now on the defensive side of the year. Here are some things we must defend. We must guard our heart We must defend the word - the enemy comes to steal the word Guard our peace and joy Guard our rhythms - life has a way o...

Here is today's communion meditation.   Lately the word, "inspired," keeps coming to mind.  To inspire is to fill someone with the urge or ability to do or feel something. The word inspire is also related to breath. Some of the dictionary concepts paint the word picture of blowing on a fire, to increase the flame. We could think of it like in-spirit - filling with the spirit, or the brea...

Here is the Message for June. Our message for 2023 is, " God Saved the Best Until Now," and our message for June is "Walk in God's Best Today." Last month one of the key lessons for me, was that there is a connection between delighting in the Lord and meditating on God's word.  And David said that he had more insight than all of his teachers, because he meditated on God's word. This month we...

Here is today's communion meditation. The best solutions in life are often the simplest. Too often we overly complicate things, when God's solutions are simple.  In today's communion we are asking God to help us find the simple solutions he has for us.  Today's Health and Fitness Tip Today we are getting started with  God's Plan for Accelerated Body Transformation .  The goal i...

Here is today's communion meditation.   In John 14:3 Jesus said that he is going to prepare a place for us. This reminds me of the Old Testament where God sent his angel ahead of the people to prepare the way to the promised land. It used to be that in ancient Jewish culture when a bride and groom were engaged, the soon to be groom would leave for about a year and go to his father's house. Wh...

Here is today's communion meditation.   In Numbers 14:17 Moses says, “Now may the Lord's strength be displayed, just as you have declared." After Moses asks God to display his strength, God begins to talk about his glory filling the earth. And after Jesus turned water into wine, John 2 tells us it was the first of the signs through which be displayed his glory.  In today's communion we a...

Here is today's communion meditation. In John 14:2-3 Jesus said, "My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.  Some verses translate this verse as many rooms, while others translate it as many...
