God's Word For Today
He satisfieth the longing soul,
and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
Ye have tasted that the Lord [is] gracious.
O God, thou [art] my God; early will I seek thee: my soul
thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and
thirsty land, where no water is; to see thy power and thy glory.
--My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the
LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.--
Having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far
better.
I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.--They
shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the
sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the
midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto
living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears
from their eyes.--They shall be abundantly satisfied with the
fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the
river of thy pleasures.--My people shall be satisfied with my
goodness, saith the LORD.

Theme: I Believe in Communion
What Does It Mean?
Read Exodus 12:21–27
As Roger took the juice and bread from the plate, his daughter leaned over. “Dad, why do you and Mom do this?” Roger smiled. He knew she would ask that question some day.
And when your children ask you, “What does this ceremony mean to you?” then tell them, “It is the Passover sacrifice to the Lord, who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt and spared our homes when he struck down the Egyptians.” Then the people bowed down and worshiped. (Exodus 12:26,27).
God expects every Christian to have an answer for questions about the faith (1 Peter 3:15). These answers are especially important when passing on the faith to the next generation. If it isn’t passed on, it will die out. And if their questions aren’t answered well, they may leave the faith later.
When the next generation asks about Communion, tell them it reminds you of what Jesus did at the Cross, how His body was broken and His blood poured out. Give them the meaning and give them faith.
Prayer Suggestion: God, help me give good answers when others ask me about You.
