One of the glories about watching your
children grow up is the growth at the Table. At first, we could all fit around
a little breakfast table for four. Then we had to invest in a basic dining table
to seat six. Then we needed a formal dining Table with leaves to accommdate 12
or even 15 when we use the corners and piano bench. The Table grows and the joy
grows with it.
Next, is grandchildren and if the Lord would be so kind, even
great grandchildren as the table keeps on growing, out into the next room,
through the door and into the yard, across the way into the triangle and
finally beyond, to the very ends of the earth.
We see that same truth here at this
Table, the Table of the Lord. First there is only a few, say 12 or so, and then
120, and then 3000 and then 5000 and then a multitude and then a great number,
myriads times myriads, that no man can count.
We are approaching those uncountable numbers now and we have a long
way to go as the Lord keeps adding leaves to His Table. And thanks be to God,
there is always more room for one more.
