Words of Encouragement:
"Look Who’s At Your Table"
Holy Scripture: Mark 2:16 (NLT)
“Why does he eat with such scum?”
Isn’t it something that sometimes the very people who should be lifting you up are the ones calling you “scum,” “good for nothing,” or defining you by your shortcomings? Yet Yeshua was willing to sit at the table with those whom religious leaders considered unworthy.
Look at Matthew, also known as Levi. Society had dismissed him because of his profession and reputation, yet Yeshua saw something in him that others could not see. The man they looked down upon became the man God used to write the Gospel that declares Yeshua’s lineage, ministry, and purpose.
Your past does not disqualify you, and your present does not define your future.
Even if church hurt has wounded you because of the behavior or words of church people, do not allow their judgment to become your identity. Their opinion of you is not God’s final word concerning you.
People may judge the table you came from, but God determines the table you belong at.
So, look around your table. Look who is sitting with you.
Yeshua is still at the table. He has not abandoned you, rejected you, or walked away from you.
And if Yeshua is at your table, you are not sitting at the wrong table; you are sitting at a table of grace, purpose, restoration, and destiny.
Pray this with us:
Father, thank You for reminding us that our past does not disqualify us and the words of others do not define us. Heal every wound caused by rejection, judgment, and church hurt. Give us the strength to forgive, the courage to keep moving forward, and the faith to embrace the purpose You have placed within us. Help us remember that when others count us out, You still invite us to Your table. May we never forget that Yeshua is with us, for us, and still has a purpose for our lives. In Yeshua’s name, Amen
Look who’s at your table! Yeshua is still sitting with you.
God's peace is with you,
Bishop L. P. Key, II, and Lady A. D. Key
