LET'S EAT!

JEREMIAH 31:17 (CEB)
There’s hope for your future, declares the LORD.

REVELATION 3:20 (ABP)
Hello! I’m standing out here knocking on your door. Open up and let me into your life. Imagine what it will be like sitting down together for dinner. O, the fellowship so divine!

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Fellowship with God is the hope of our future.

PRAYER
Gracious God, thank you for opening yourself to fellowship with people -- even people who are lukewarm to you. You've come to be with us. I confess that I'm not always quick to get to the door -- to respond to your presence. Forgive me for living a distracted life -- for looking other directions for hope and fellowship. Do come into my life right now -- stay forever. Let's eat! Amen!
