DAILY DEVOTIONAL TODAY – June 22, 2025 || Our Daily Bread [Daily Devotion] | MamClaireTV

Devotional Message:
(1 Corinthians 11:26)
"Whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the LORD'S death until he comes."

🔍 Observation: More Than a Ritual, It's a Reminder

When Paul wrote 1 Corinthians 11:26, he wasn’t introducing a new ritual—he was preserving a relationship. Communion isn’t just a church tradition or a monthly ceremony. It is a sacred moment where heaven meets earth… and where we remember who saved us, how He saved us, and why He did it.

Jesus knew we would forget.

He knew that, over time, our gratitude could fade, and our hearts could drift. That’s why He gave us something physical to hold—bread and wine—so that every time we eat and drink them, we pause to remember.

|| “You proclaim the Lord’s death.”
This isn’t just about memory—it’s about proclamation. Every time you take Communion, you are declaring:
“Jesus died for me. Jesus rose for me. Jesus is coming again.”

🛠️ Application: Keep the Cross at the Center

Here’s how we can live this out daily, not just during Communion:

1. Pause to Remember, Not Just Participate

When you join Communion, don’t just do it because it’s on the schedule. Stop. Reflect.
Ask: “Lord, what do You want me to remember today?”

Example: Before taking the bread, whisper, “Thank You for Your body broken for my healing.”
Before drinking the cup, whisper, “Thank You for Your blood shed for my forgiveness.”

2. Examine Your Heart

Paul also said in 1 Corinthians 11 that we should examine ourselves before taking Communion. This means asking honestly:
“Is my heart still tender toward Jesus—or has it grown cold?”

Example: If you’re holding bitterness, unforgiveness, or hidden sin, bring it to God before you take part. Let the bread and cup be a place of healing, not hiding.

3. Let the Cross Shape Your Week

Jesus didn’t die so you’d only remember Him on Sundays. Let His sacrifice influence
