David fled from Saul, in 1 Samuel 21, taking
nothing with him. He stopped to ask the
priest for food and a spear. The priest
gave him Holy bread and the spear that David won from Goliath.
The Holy bread, or the bread
of the Presence (verse 6), was exactly what David needed at that time. It reminded David that even during that time
of uncertainty, God was there with him. Even
when David’s world was turned upside down, God was present.
This is the importance of
Holy Communion in our lives today. It
reminds us that God is here. In the
midst of all that is crazy in our lives, God is here. Even when we don’t know where to turn or who
to turn to, God is here. Even when we
don’t even recognize God’s presence among us, God is here.
Ever present God, I am
thankful that you are here with me always.
Thank you for Holy Communion, which reminds me of your presence. Will you continue to show me
Yourself in my daily life? Amen.
