Communion & Devotion

Communion is taken in remembrance of Jesus last supper with his disciples before his death. Communion can be taken collectively or in privacy.  For those who would like to join me in communion privately you are more than welcome. Every Sunday at 12:00 pm noon, I come to this page on my website. I say Psalm 139 out loud, and ask God to search my heart, then I ask for forgiven if I did anything wrong in his presence. While taking my communion (grape juice and crackers) I meditate on the scriptures on this page. If you have no one to take communion with, please join me on Sundays’ at noon.  

                                                             Psalm 139

 O Lord, you have examined my heart
      and know everything about me.
 You know when I sit down or stand up.
      You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.
 You see me when I travel
      and when I rest at home.
      You know everything I do.
 You know what I am going to say
      even before I say it, Lord.
 You go before me and follow me.
      You place your hand of blessing on my head.
 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
      too great for me to understand!

I can never escape from your Spirit!
      I can never get away from your presence!
  If I go up to heaven, you are there;
      if I go down to the grave, you are there.
 If I ride the wings of the morning,
      if I dwell by the farthest oceans,
 even there your hand will guide me,
      and your strength will support me.
 I could ask the darkness to hide me
      and the light around me to become night—
    but even in darkness I cannot hide from you.
   To you the night shines as bright as day.
      Darkness and light are the same to you.

You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
      and knit me together in my mother’s womb.
  Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
      Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
 You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
      as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
 You saw me before I was born.
      Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
   Every moment was laid out
      before a single day had passed.

 How precious are your thoughts about me, O God.
      They cannot be numbered!
  I can’t even count them;
      they outnumber the grains of sand!
   And when I wake up,
      you are still with me!

                                             Meditation scriptures

For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

                                                           1Corinthians 11:26

And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.

                                                             Luke 22:19-20

Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

                                                          1 Corinthians 11:28

So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. ...

                                                             John 6:53-58

And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.

                                                               Acts 2:42

So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.

                                                              John 6:53
