Come To The Table
A waiter brought a customer the steak he ordered with his thumb over the meat. “Are you crazy?” yelled the customer. “What are you doing with your hand on my steak?” “What?” answers the waiter. “You want it to fall on the floor again?”
Not every table is the best table. But there is a table set for you, and even if it were placed in the presence of your enemies that it was set, it would still be the best table.
Mark 7:25 For a woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit heard about Him, and she came and fell at His feet. 26 The woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phoenician by birth, and she kept asking Him to cast the demon out of her daughter. 27 But Jesus said to her, “Let the children be filled first, for it is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.” 28 And she answered and said to Him, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs under the table eat from the children’s crumbs.” 29 Then He said to her, “For this saying go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter.” 30 And when she had come to her house, she found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed.
A table symbolizes a place of receiving provision for life and health. It symbolizes abundance, connection, fellowship, and joy. Even the crumbs from His table would be a blessing for this woman. To her, to be a dog getting the crumbs would be a blessing. Thus when we, as His children, have a place at the table, we are very thankful. The table He sets is always full. He sets us a table in the presence of our enemy! He wants the enemy to see how abundantly He has provided for us and how faithfully He cares for us. It is like rubbing salt in the enemy’s eyes. That is why we openly give praise to God for what we expect to receive from His table. We need at this point to give heed to something Scripture testifies to,
Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
Everything to do with the kingdom begins at the point of faith for us. Everything flows to us through the pipeline of faith. No pipeline, no flow. I’m not your pipeline. My voice is not the pipeline, but if you come expecting to hear the Holy Spirit speak to you through my voice and His voice lands on your heart, you have a pipeline. Then your seat at the table is authentic to you. No one goes to the table unless they believe there’s something for them, and they will be welcomed to it. The Greek woman whose daughter was delivered bears witness to the willingness of Jesus, and Jesus is a witness to the willingness of the Father. She heard and went. She did not allow her estimation of her worth to determine it. She based it on His goodness and willingness and received it according to her faith.
You are loved today and always by your faithful gracious Heavenly Father. By coming to His Son Jesus in faith to be forgiven and made alive, you became His child supernaturally, and He is for you, not against you. The more you come to know His goodness and believe in it, the more your faith grows in the fact that He can heal you just as easily as He forgave you and made you righteous. It is by the same means, it is a gift, and it works based on faith. Come to His table, where healing is served up. Come in faith, expecting. That Gentile mother did, and even though it wasn’t considered the right timing, she still got what she came in faith to receive.
So I speak healing and life to you today in His marvelous name. I declare that He is not only able to heal you, but He is also willing. Go and have a blessed day today in His name and always. His grace and peace be with you.
