A symbol of God’s provision
Today in our Sonlife staff meeting Chris Folmsbee—our President—led us in a time of reflection on the symbol of the Table throughout the Bible. Check out some of these verses where God uses a table as the symbol of his provision for us: Psalm 23:5, Malachi 1:6-7, I Corinthians 10:21, Psalm 78:15-20.
Our God is a loving Father who gives us all that we need. It’s easy to see all that we don’t have—the clothes we’d like, better grades, friends who are more fun, a family that we actually like. How often to I feel restless or dissatisfied, wishing I had more? Even, dare I say, thinking I deserve more?
When we come to that point, we have to pause and remember what we really deserve. Picture Christ on the cross…getting what I deserve…and I go on to live with (compared to his suffering) little discomfort. How often do we recognize how richly we have been blessed? How often do I thank him for all that he has given me?
Take a moment right now to reflect on how good God has been to you. As you go through this day, remember his provision and let it fill your heart with joy and peace. You serve a great and powerful God who is full of lovingkindness!
