SCRIPTURE: Genesis 18:1 The LORD appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day.
8 He (Abraham) then brought some curds and milk and the calf that had been prepared, and set these before them (The LORD and two others). While they ate, he stood near them under a tree.
OBSERVATION: Revelation 3:20 ends with “…and I will eat with him, and he will eat with me.”
Here in Genesis 18 is an example of the first part. God came and ate with Abraham. God ate what Abraham had provided and what Sarah had prepared. God participates with us; Our provisions can never compare with heaven’s ,but He enjoys our provision in life. What He enjoys is the fellowship and visiting between us as we are together doing what I do and eating what I eat.
Later (Exodus 24:11) we see Moses taking 70 elders of Israel to the mountain where they “saw God and did eat and drink!” There, they partook of His provision.
APPLICATION: Whatever my lot in life, how special it is to know that God partakes with me. He sanctifies each segment of my life (my home, my work, etc.) by being a part of them. It is His way of having dinner at my house.
And how very special to know that God invites me to partake with Him! I get to enjoy His word and talk with Him each day. I get to participate in His body, the church. And soon I will participate with Him in the place He has gone to prepare for us! What a day that will be!!!
PRAYER: Lord, I like to sing, You walk with me, and You talk with me, And You tell me I am Your own. And the joy we share as we tarry there, none other has ever known. Amen.
