Good morning Lord Jesus, bring new wine into me today.
“Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: “The kingdom of heaven can be compared to a king who gave a wedding banquet for his son. He sent his slaves to summon those who had been invited to the banquet, but they would not come. Again he sent other slaves, saying, ʻTell those who have been invited, “Look! The feast I have prepared for you is ready. My oxen and fattened cattle have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.”ʼ But they were indifferent and went away, one to his farm, another to his business.” (Matthew 22:1-6).
Lord as an adopted sons and daughters into the kingdom of God through the atoning work of the blood of Jesus in His death, resurrection and ascension, you do not only invite us to your banquet, we are all those for whom the banquet is celebrated. We are the ones the Father ran to, embraced and said to his servants, ‘Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate. For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’ And they began to celebrate.” (Luke 15:22-24)
This morning, we are invited to the banquet of “Today.” Today we are all invited to “Taste and see that the LORD is good!” (Psalm 34:8). When you walk out your door this morning do you accept His invitation and do you really expect for God to do amazing things so that by the end of the day or the end of the week you will have amazing stories to tell of what God is doing? because He Is! And you have been invited today to be part of it. What is the banquet of God except a day by day, moment by moment invitation to step into something that God wants to do in somebody’s life and you have the privilege of seeing it happen? Do you accept His invitation to experience His banquet of love and grace and truly expect and receive it in your own life today enough to be able expect it anywhere else?
My family, I pray you will accept the invitation to participate in the banquet God has set before you called “Today.” I pray you will both seek out a time alone with God to taste and see that He is good, and walk out your door with an expectant heart ready to participate what God is going to do in, though and around you today, in Jesus name. Please pray the same for me. God bless you my friends!
