Enjoy Your Meal
When we become believers, we are invited to join God at His table. As a part of God’s family, He provides for us and keeps us safe. We see this repeatedly in scriptures. David first spoke of this in the Psalms.
Psalms 23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Can you imaging the table God would set for His family? That would be some kind of a meal! And do you think He would let our enemies disturb the meal? I don’t think so. It just so happens that meal that lasts forever is our Messiah.
John 6:48 I am that bread of life.
49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
If we will follow our Master, Yeshua (Jesus), then we have the opportunity to dine with our Father in heaven in the presence of our enemies. No one can take our place at the table from us.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are worthy of our praise. We call out to You today Father to send Your kingdom to this earth in our lives. Please send it today. Help us to get past those things that keep us from You. Forgive us when we get it wrong. Send us today Your healing, deliverance, and overwhelming provision. In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name. Amen.
