The King's Table

2 Sam 9:11 “So Mephibosheth ate at David’s table like one of the king’s sons.”

One afternoon, I was confessing that I could not trust the Lord enough because of my past experiences but I would like that to change. The next I know, He invited me to feast with Him. A table was laid full of food, and He asked that I sit down and eat whatever I liked with Him. I was struck, why did he invite me to His table?

Then I read 2 Samuel when David asked Mephibosheth to eat with him always, I realized God treats me like one of His children. God is full of kindness and will always be there to provide and take care of me, His child. I can trust Him.

Prayer: Dear Lord, I thank you for your invitation to your table. I want to sit by your side to eat with you always. There is love and abundance at your table and your food nourishes me, fills me up and satisfies me. I thank you for you loving care and kind provision. In Jesus name, amen.
