I can’t help but marvel at the loving kindness of our Lord. How blessed we are when the King of Glory comes knocking at the door of our hearts.
Dear Lord, as we come together I know it is I who stands in need: Sweet fellowship and transformation by your presence at the changing table.
.
The Changing Table By grace I heard your knock Faith opened up the door That I might sup with you Sweet Bread of Life, come down My heart song was a cry In need of Love’s refrain The power to cast out fear And guide me to the Light Deliverance from the sin Of lukewarm, carnal, flesh My heavy-laden soul Is lifted from the mire Sweet balm of healing grace I’m humbled by your touch Destroyer of the yoke For all that take your rest.
“Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.” Revelation 3:20
My Thoughts
When we receive salvation, it’s only the beginning of a relationship with the Father and His Son. Our Savior’s promise (Revelation 3:20) to sit down and dine with us is evidence of God’s desire for divine intimacy with His people. But this intimacy has a purpose: that we be transformed into His image. Because Jesus does not come in to dine with us, empty handed. He brings the blessing of deliverance, healing, and loving conviction. There’s no need to fear His touch (Revelation 3:19). Just as a baby is brought to the changing table to be washed and refreshed in the natural, we, as children of the most High God are privileged to have the blessing of spiritual cleansing and restoration.
