Thought for Today - October 19
Who Will Sit At Thy Table, Lord? - By: Robert A. Searles
My
Father, and my God, as you have fed me in the past, so feed me today
that I might be strong in thee, and that I might grow to be like thine
only begotten son, the Lord Jesus Christ. You have offered me the bread
of life, help me not to neglect to eat it. You have said: “come and
dine”.
Lord
let me sit at thy table forever and enjoy the fatness of thy house.
Thy table is spread with love; with truth; with mercy and grace.
The blood which was shed for me is in the cup, and I am invited to drink
thereof. The bread was broken on the cross, and Satan's head was
crushed unto death, and this bread is set before me to sustain me
forever.
Who
are they that sit at thy table? They may sit at thy table who will
believe that God is, and is a rewarder of all that seek him; those who
know that God is spirit and must be worshiped in spirit and in truth;
those who believe that Jesus is the Christ, the divine son of God who
came into the world to offer his life a ransom for many who were lost.
They will sit at thy table who will confess and agree with God that
they are sinners and need a savior, and by faith receive Christ as their
Savior, believing and confessing that Christ died for their sins, and
that he was buried and rose again the third day according to the
scriptures.
This
is the gospel, and all who will believe it and confess it are those who
will sit at thy table.
“Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach
unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts, we shall be satisfied with
the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.” Psalm 65: 4.
