"On a sabbath he went to dine at the home of one of the leading Pharisees, and the people there were observing him carefully. In front of him there was a man suffering from dropsy.
He told a parable to those who had been invited, noticing how they were choosing the places of honor at the table." Luke 14:1-2, 7
Advent Day 14 - How well do you see? Jesus is at a party and He is very observant of what is going on, how well others think of themselves. They on the other hand do not see that well for their focus is on themselves. It is holiday season and there are parties, Christmas pageants and galas, recognize Christ in the room and do not think better of yourself. In Jesus's teachings, He warns of being indignant of others, of exalting ones self, you never know that you might be like this guest who said: "One of his fellow guests on hearing this said to him, "Blessed is the one who will dine in the kingdom of God."" Luke 14:15. And he was dining with God but couldn't see Him. Awake my soul and let me see.

What is God saying to me: I Am not found in lofty places but in lowly places, who will feed the hungry, the naked, the lost or the lonely, will you feed them My child?
Dear Lord, there are a lot of distractions this time of year that tries to cloud our vision, You are watching to see how we will respond, will we see what You see and respond as You would respond. I love the way You challenge ones thinking, to speak directly thru pictures. May we all enjoy the Christmas season but not without You in it. I look forward to dine with You dear Lord, til then please walk with me and let me see what You see for nothing goes unnoticed in Your presence. Prayers for a friend that is in the hospital in an induced coma, may the healing hands of God be upon him, his family and the medical staff, I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Angels, pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
