To come to the Table – to eat, to visit, to listen. Why do you go to the Table? Have you thought about the table where you eat? Is it to study? To gather with family, friends to catch up? How is it made? Some have designated places to sit when they gather. Some just grab the nearest seat. 

Yet, what about the Table? Sturdy, steady, steadfast. Remind you of anything, anyone? No matter what messes we make, the Table handles them. I know you may be thinking there are some tables that cannot handle some of the weight that we put on them. Some were not made for the trials that we put them through. Case in point: friend of mine decided that the light above their table was hanging too low during a dinner function. So, he decided to zip-tie it up during their family’s get-together.  He decides to stand on the table to make the necessary alterations to the light. Steady as he goes. He gets to the middle of the table. Starts to zip-tie the light and bam! No table-no more! Just floor! He was fine. What a jolt! No one could have seen that coming, I am sure. It’s like that in life. When we go try to fill our life with things that aren’t of God, we will fall. When we go to the One who can carry us when we are weak, when we need to be picked up, or when we just need to catch up, He will be there- steadfast and sure.

He meets us right where we are. He is at the Table always waiting for us, ready to listen, advise, or just sit with us. He doesn’t leave us to dine alone or sit alone no matter the strength of the Table. However, He is always at the Table available and waiting. So, pass the mashed potatoes, pull up a chair, bring a friend or two and let’s sit and visit. Just can’t wait!
