Daily Delight

My dining room table is one of my favorite places to be in my home. The scratches and dents that grace the surface show the love and community that has sat around it over the years. This table has not only nourished my family with physical sustenance, it has also wiped away many tears, roared with laughter, and served to encourage those in need of a firm footing.There is a long history in that worn-out, ratty table. While food is always served, it is less about what’s on the menu and more about the love and community that fills the seats. Friends and family know they always have an open invitation to come to this table to be fed. Our Heavenly Father offers us the same invitation. Each and every day, our Lord knocks on our hearts. He wants to be invited to our table so that He can fill us. While food provides our body with the physical nourishment it needs to fuel our cells for energy and life, the Bible provides nourishment to feed our soul.

When our lifeline is fed, we are able to serve ourselves and others from a place of overflow. But, like food, this spiritual feeding does not last forever. It requires a daily feast of sitting with God, praying and reading His Word. You see, God understands that living in a sinful world depletes us. The only way to be filled is to come to Him.Sister, I encourage you today, to invite God into your heart. Ask Him to feed you truth and life and to fill your soul so that you can enter into the world ready to serve Him fully.Let’s pray:Dear Heavenly Father, I’m sorry I have ignored your knocks and thought life was better done alone. Lord, I invite you in and welcome your presence. Please fill me so that I can go out and serve those you have placed in my life today. Amen.
