The Seeds of Intimacy - Part 3

Did you ever ask yourself why God set the table for you

in the presence of your enemies?

How does the enemy get to sit with us?

Why not vanquish the foes, change the circumstances,

get rid of the cancer, bring back your loved one,

shut down the voices spreading the lies?

See, we have been invited to a feast.

The table is covered with all the things

that satisfy and sustain you.

You've realize that the power of this table

is not what's on it, but who's there.

You're sitting with the king.

not just some run-of-the-mill earthly king.

You're dining with the king of the ages.

The God of the cosmos.

You're at the table with the wisest, kindest,

most loving, most creative,

most joy-filled, most interesting person in the universe.

In the midst of the battles that are raging,

he is near.

The good shepherd is available and accessible.

He is invited you to go as deep in your relationship with him

as you desire. Let that sink in for a moment.

The king of the universe

wants to spend one on one time with you.
