Communion Meditation May 4, 2014 Proverbs 4.20-23: Pew Bible Pew # 459 20) My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. 21) Do not let them depart from your sight; Keep them in the midst of your heart. 22) For they are life to those who find them And health to all their body. 23) Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life. GUARD DUTY When was in the U.S. Army, he remember he had to pull guard duty many times. The purpose of guard duty was to ensure that other soldiers, equipment, or areas were protected from the enemy. He can recalled that while in basic training, or boot camp, he had to memorize three General Orders and the first one was, I will guard everything within the limits of my post and quit my post only when properly relieved. When we were properly relieved, there was a password that was spoken between the person on guard duty and the one that was relieving them. If the improper password was given, you were not properly relieved. The safety of all that was being guarded depended upon you, the person on guard duty. If something went wrong or the enemy was able to get access into that which you were responsible for guarding, then you were held accountable and punishment was inevitable. Psalm 141.2-4: Pew Bible Page #454 2) May my prayer be counted as incense before You; The lifting up of my hands as the evening offering. 3) Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips. 4) Do not incline my heart to any evil thing, To practice deeds of wickedness With men who do iniquity; And do not let me eat of their delicacies. Before we can come to this table, we must first guard our hearts and take our thoughts captive. This can only be done after we have surrendered everything to the sovereignty of God. His Living Word convicts us of our sin, that same Word allows us the opportunity to confess and to repent of our sin, and that same word allows us to be forgiven of that same sin. But before we can come to take part in the Covenant of Grace and also be a part of our Lord’s Supper we must know the password. That password for today and every day of our lives is, “Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so.” This morning as we take part in our Lord’s Supper and we remember the price that was paid for our sin, do we also remember the password of the day? Please Repeat After me: “Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so.” Today is the Day of Decision. Today is the Day of Salvation! Please take a moment to remember that Jesus loves you!
