In our last post we talked about how waiting on the Lord describes our fellowship with Him. Let's take that one more step.
The Lord gave me a vision of another aspect of waiting on Him. In this vision I was standing in the kitchen of the house were I grew up in Fowler, Colorado. I was standing next to our kitchen table with a white towel draped over my arm like a waiter. Sitting at the table was Jesus. He was looking straight ahead and I had the privilege of being His waiter.
Here is a picture of a serving son/daughter living a lifestyle of being in fellowship with the Lord on a daily basis. The kitchen table is a place of family fellowship. At that table growing up, we ate a lot of meals. There were a lot of hours talking, laughing, listening and being together as a family. Here Jesus was at the head of the table.
There are so many analogies here, but the main one today is, our lifestyle as a son/daughter is to live day by day out of our fellowship with the Lord. From this table of daily fellowship He will give us specific instructions for each day, as we take the time to fellowship Him with first. Let's not get trapped into being too busy to fellowship with Him.

Sunny,
I believe many times that we let life get in the way of our relationship with God. Our busy lives are so hectic that we fail to see that God is more important than the mundane things of life. Thank you for reminding your readers of this.
Easter blessings to you and yours.
Mary
So important for us to learn to live in the day, not projecting to the future, or looking back to the past. Falls into the portion of scripture of "Take no thought...."
