Knowing GodSample

Dinner with my friend

Seriously, how good is that!

We get a seat at the table of the king. We’re not topping up the glasses or clearing the plates. We’re right there, eating, drinking, laughing, reclining, adoring. The invitation to this feast among friends was personally delivered by hand–pierced hand and came with a tight, warm embrace. When we accept that invitation from Jesus and receive the Holy Spirit, we enter communion with the Father and an abiding intimacy that is impossible to fully comprehend. We get to be friends with the creator of the universe. By His grace alone, we get to join Him at the table; we listen, we delight, we obey, we worship, and we love.

I’ve had the lyrics from an old Matt Redman song floating around my head lately. It’s called The Friendship and the Fear. I’ll leave you with the chorus:

Knowing You

Hearing You speak

Seeing You move mysteriously

Your whisperings

In my soul’s ear

I want the friendship and the fear

Of knowing You
