Meditate on this Scripture.
Look!
I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will
come in, and we will share a meal together as friends. Revelation 3:20
My paternal grandparents had a picture
of this scripture hanging on the wall in their living room. It wasn't the words
of the scripture but a copy of a painting that was done by Warner
Sallman. You are probably familiar with the painting that shows Jesus standing
at a large arched wooden door, knocking. There was also the same painting
hanging on the wall of the entry at our church—so I frequently viewed this
image growing up. I was always amazed that there was no doorknob. How was Jesus
to open the door? The title of the painting is "Jesus Knocking at Heart's
Door" so that isn't the door to someone's home, but the door to their very
heart—their soul.

What an honor to have Jesus knock at
the door to your heart—and for you to ask Him to come in. He's promised that He
will come in...if asked...and dine with you. Share a meal together as
friends. You usually only share a meal with someone
you like...or are somehow obligated to do so. With whom are you sharing your
life...your hopes and dreams...your food and fellowship?
Prayer ~ Dear Jesus, open my ears and
eyes to Your words…that I would listen and obey. Thank You for standing at the
door of my heart and life—not forcing Yourself on me...but giving me the
opportunity to invite You into my heart and life. Come in Lord Jesus. May we
feast together on Your words.
