Weekly Overview:
When our
granddaughter was younger, she requested a “feast” for her birthday. We didn’t quite understand what she had in
mind since it was an unusual request for a young girl. “Like Thanksgiving,” she said and then we
understood. She wanted the bounty of a
table of delicious food but, more than that, she wanted an abundance of family
seated at the feast table. It would be a
happy occasion with food, family and lots of presents. Early in history it was the custom for two
rival groups to sit down at a common table for a feast. Literally, you were in the “presence of your
enemies” in an effort to come to terms of peace. God’s promise is that he will provide for us
even in the face of peril. Yes, and He always
brings a gift.
