Daily Thoughts - The Beginning
"Indeed, the word of God is living and effective, sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating even between soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and able to discern reflections and thoughts of the heart." Hebrews 4:12. "Some scribes who were Pharisees saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors and said to his disciples, "Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?" Jesus heard this and said to them [that], "Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do. I did not come to call the righteous but sinners." Mark 2:16-17
Do you dine with Jesus? Our bodies require food, without it, it will not function the way it was designed. As I sat with Jesus this morning, as I cooked breakfast. I listened to what He was saying. The invitation is available for all of us to hear and respond, and like any good host, He gives us the choice to respond.
As a sinner, seeking the heart of God, I am drawn to the dinner table. The Word of God is the food, it is my soul that it is penetrating. It is easy to sit back and pass judgement on another but God sees the heart, He knows what is needed. Without God in our daily life, we will not function properly. It may appear to be working in the ways of the world but can I physician cure himself if he is blinded by his own judgement.
Breakfast was good, both spiritual and physical food to feed body, mind and soul.
Dear Father, it is another beautiful morning that begins with the breath of life and the gift of knowing Who provides it. Thank You Father for calling the sinner to the table to dine with You. In this relationship You are refining the heart to see. Bless this day and the memories it has to hold, may it bring You joy. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.

Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
