Dine with the Lord

 

~~~ Ephesians 6:1-9 ~~~ Psalm 145 ~~~ Luke 13: 22-30 ~~~

 

 "...slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,
willingly serving the Lord and not men..."

 

No matter who you are or where you, you can decide in your heart

to willingly serve the Lord.

There is no one who can change your heart but you.

It does not matter if you are rich or poor

your heart can serve the Lord.

The desires of your heart can form your attitude

to give praise and glory to God

in all that you do.

 

"...both they and you have a Master in heaven
and that with him there is no partiality."

 

In the sight of the Lord we are all equal.

In our human weakness we create different altitudes for holiness.

In reality you are either living for the Lord or you are living for yourself.

 

If we are pretending to live for the Lord

when our hearts are living for ourselves;

we may be standing outside the door.

We may be among those whom the Lord claims not to remember...

not to even know.

 

 

"...And people will come from the east and the west
and from the north and the south
and will recline at table in the Kingdom of God."

 

I am confident that I want to be among those

who come from all the ends of the earth.

I am confident that I want to recline at table with the Lord.

Therefore, I am compelled to live a life

worth being allowed entrance into the kingdom.

Mind you that I would never be worthy of my own accord;

only worthy because the Lord himself has given to me his invitation.

 

He has given to each of us his personal invitation

to dine with him in the kingdom.

 

Have you sent your RSVP?

Have you misplaced the invitation?

Have you deliberately disposed of the invitation?

Have you rejected his invitation?

 

The invitation to recline at the table with the Lord

is worth doing all that you can to attend.

There is no greater banquet,

than the heavenly banquet in the Kingdom of the Lord.

 

Hope to reunite with you when we get there!

He has prepared a place just for you.
