God's Roadmap

Now may the Lord Jesus Christ and our Father God, who loved us and in his wonderful grace gave us eternal comfort and a beautiful hope that cannot fail, encourage your hearts and inspire you with strength to always do and speak what is good and beautiful in his eyes (2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 TPT).

A Place at His Table

 

by Barbara Latta @barbaralatta

Have you ever thought about how many times God invites us to enjoy communion with Him through the rich offerings He presents?

Recently, my friend, Jeannie Waters, released her book, A Place at His Table The beautiful tome invites us to sit back and learn more about the love of our heavenly Father through His glorious presentations.

Included in this book are wonderful table decorating tips, recipes, and ideas for gathering friends and family to fellowship together with God.

Among the types of gifts Jeannie talks about are:

  • The gift of unconditional love
  • The gift of acceptance
  • The gift of gratitude
  • The gift of laughter
  • The gift of comfort

This 40-day devotional includes many more of God’s extravagant provisions.

Each chapter ends with a prayer, a way to embrace God’s gift, and a way to share the gift.

One example shared in the chapter about God’s unconditional love is the way her mother always made pink grits and heart-shaped biscuits on Valentine’s Day for Jeannie and her brother. The kids also were surprised with chocolate at the table on this holiday. Jeannie’s mom created a special breakfast for her children because she loved them and wanted to relate her dedication to family.

Our heavenly Father loves us more than we can ever imagine. He gives to us over and over and He wants us to know how special we are to Him.

This quote from the chapter on “The Gift of God’s Unconditional Love” expresses the Father’s heart. “Mama only served pink grits and chocolate treats for breakfast once a year, but God arranges expressions of love on His table 365 days a year. Our heavenly Father’s steadfast love rises with the sun and shines through the night with the stars and moon every day of our lives—and forever.”

A Place at His Table invites you to pull up a chair and feast at God’s banquet of glorious supply for every need we have.

When we realize the righteousness Christ has given us, we can then enjoy the table of grace His identity invites us to partake from. 

You will enjoy this inspiring read as your soul soaks up the abundance of our Lord. You can connect with Jeannie at her website and be blessed by joining her blog at https://jeanniewaters.com/.

    Jeannie Waters’ book gives refreshment as you share in her experiences, refreshing ideas to invite others to your table, but most of all, guides us to see the unlimited gifts God gives us.

      Thank you, Leigh. The more I studied God's blessings, the more grateful I became for His presence and His many gifts. He doesn't always grant requests the way we ask, but as a loving Father, He knows what's best for us and blesses us in amazing ways.

      I'm honored by your description, Katherine. Thanks so much. Isn't it wonderful to wake up each morning and focus our attention on our heavenly Father.? I often pray Psalm 143:8 to seek Him when I wake up. His Word is truly a ray of sunshine into our lives.
