You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. Psalm 23:5
Karen and I love having folks around for a meal. She’s a great cook and loves to lavish our guests with the best of her delectable delights.
Eating together is a very intimate activity. People often hold a special dinner to honor others or to celebrate a special event.
Jesus told a story one day. He described how two brothers had grown up in a caring home. One brother, however, fled the nest in search of fame and fortune. Sadly, things didn’t work out quite as he’d hoped, and he became destitute. He ended up eating scraps of food fed to pigs.
When he came to his senses he returned to his father’s house. When his father saw him coming, he ran to meet his son. Then he called for a feast of honor to be prepared to honor his son who was once lost but now was found.
Today Jesus is saying to you, “I stand at your door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in and join you for dinner.” Lord Almighty wants to sit down to a meal with you and enjoy your company. He is calling out to you to join him in intimate fellowship. Jesus desires to share his heart with you and hear all about your life.
The Father longs to throw a banquet on your behalf; to prepare a table before you in the presence of your enemies. So, simply open that door today and invite him in.
