How often do you laugh? According to the National Library of Medicine, children generally laugh more frequently than adults. Estimates have it that children laugh 400 times per day, while adults may laugh only 15-20 times a day. Psalm 126:2 says, “Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, ‘The Lord has done great things for them.’” Maybe it’s time we count our laughs and start laughing at ourselves.  Learn more about priority projects at www.newmissions.org/projects Read our monthly newsletter at www.newmissions.org/news Read the entire "Laugh At Yourself" article.

Where do we find refuge from the woes and worries of our world? We cannot protect what happens outside of our lives, but we can focus on what happens in our hearts and minds. “Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” (Psalm 91:1) Our greatest security comes from a personal relationship with God through Jesus.

How often do you share in the Lord's Supper...communion? Welcome to the mid-week edition of our podcast where we share a devotional to encourage you on your journey of faith in Jesus. Today's topic is the Lord's Supper based upon Matthew 26:26-28 "While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, He broke it and gave it to His disciples, saying, 'Take and eat; this is my body.' Then he took the cup, and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, 'Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins." Together, let's reflect on the power of what Jesus invited His disciples to participate in. It was not a tradition to continue or a quick passing spiritual drive-thru experience. Today, Jesus asks us to stop all we are doing in remembrance of His sacrifice on the cross.
