Society shows that many people no matter their age are
looking for belonging because the home is not a safe place anymore, a church is
a safe place, but a lot of the churches around the world are not leading people
to the cross and to live the Kingdom Culture or standards of living. I’ve been
reading a book called The Power of Covenant by Kingsley Fletcher; it talks
about how important covenants are and how they affect you both good and bad.
God uses them to show us his love and commitment to the relationship he wants
and has with you. One important thing I’ve learnt from reading this book is
that in a Covenant relationship you need to be genuine with speaking the truth
and also in honesty. This is awesome because it is also one of my life goals;
to be open and honest in all my relationships.
What made the family
homes not so safe anymore? Why are so many people sharing their feelings with
people that are not safe or family? We all long to belong somewhere, to be
known to share our hearts and not be judged if we do something silly or wrong.
We want to be corrected in love not judged and laughed at. I know for myself
that I look to guys to seek affirmation and approval; I am in the process of receiving
this now from God and him alone. We can’t live without God because he has the manual
he has the book of our lives and how to do things right in front of him waiting
for us to come and ask him what to do and how to do it. Which reminds me of my
DTS when we had father heart week with Frank Naea, we had to pick a name from a
hat then ask God what he wanted to say to them and how he wanted us to tell
them. Some people wrote songs gave gifts used analogies and just blessed our
soaks off; the immensity of God’s love was radical a day I will never forget. I
pray that you to would be encouraged to ask God in your relationships with
people what He wants to say to them and how he wants to say it then sit back
and watch God totally wreak them.
Anyway getting back to the title of my blog the table is so
important, it represents a place to commune, to share to be honest and just
share things with each other. This is so important to living to being able to
express ourselves to be known and heard. There are something’s that we as
humans need they are basic things like food, water, safety, and belonging. To
live without out these things is just utter despair, people search and look for
the latest thing to satisfy them yet they look all in the wrong places unless
they look to Jesus they will never be totally satisfied. I’m not saying you can’t
get satisfaction in friends, technology, eating or enjoying an activity but
they don’t last, they never can totally satisfy the depths of your heart. It’s
not an easy thing to get total satisfaction, actually it’s a daily thing
getting away from the busyness and getting to the secret place to actual
commune with God, to listen to him to hear his voice is overwhelming and indescribable
it just feels so good.
So who are you sharing the table with, are they safe people,
people that you can trust to be honest to be genuine and speak truth into your
life?
What will your family life be like? Whether you have started
making one or not, what Covenant promises are you going to implement to make
sure your table is a safe place for your kids?
THINK ABOUT IT!!
