January 16, 2010 ~ You Are the Guest of Honor

It is great when you allow God to fill you up until you overflow...


Today's Scripture:

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Psalm 23:5-6


You are invited to a party, a surprise party. For whom? For you. Don't be too amazed. It is going to happen. The party will be thrown in your honor to show the whole world what kind of woman you really were in life. All the marvels of your great thoughts, words, and deeds will be shown for all to see and praise. Many people will be stunned to find out how much God thought of you, because some said your life didn't really amount to much. Nonetheless, God saw things no one else did, and that's why he is throwing the party.

It is going to happen, and the grand truth is expressed in Psalm 23. God will sit you down before all people from all nations, places, times, and races. He will serve you the best meal possible- filet mignon, swordfish steak, whatever you most like. He will anoint your head with a fine perfume, showing not only respect and love but the fact that you are royalty in his house.

God will fill your cup till it overflows.

Selah people' and friends you may wonder long and hard about when this will happen, but God assures his beloved saints in these verses the wonderful truth that he will never embraces you, put you down, or humiliate you before others when you get to heaven. Rather, he spreads his feast before you for you to enjoy. He even honors you in front of those who may not have liked or respected you. You will dwell in God's house forever.

"One day you will sit before all creation, and God himself will honor you. That is what he does for all his friends. Join me as we join Him...remember He wants you to be the guest of honor and I want each of us to share with others as our cup overflows."
