Alright, brethren, if you will,
let's open to Ruth chapter 2. Ruth chapter 2. Now, we remember
that Naomi, with her husband Elimelech, her two sons, they
went down to the country of Moab. She left the house of the Lord,
the house of bread. When they got down there, the
Lord killed her husband. He killed both of her sons. And
then one of her daughters-in-law went her own way, and Ruth was
left. Ruth came back with her. And
when Boaz, when she went to his field, Boaz showed Ruth all his
unmerited favor, his free grace. With nothing in her that deserved
it, he was just gracious to her. And he told her, he said, you
glean only in my field with my maidens. He said, you drank from
my well only. And he said, my servants are
your servants. They're going to protect you,
take care of you. They're not going to reproach
you. They're not going to pick on you. He said, they'll do whatever
you need, something you ask them. And then right after she received
all this free grace, this unmerited favor from Boaz, while she was
still on her face, she fell at his feet. We come to our text,
there in verse 13, she's asking for more grace. It says, Ruth
2.13, then she said, let me find favor, let me find grace in thy
sight, my Lord. God's grace humbles his child
and makes us beg for more grace. Why is that? For that thou hast
comforted me. There's no comfort like the comfort
of God's grace where we're freely justified. And so the believer
begs for more comfort. We beg for more grace. And for
that thou hast spoken friendly unto thine handmaid, though I'll
be not like unto one of thine handmaids. There's no voice so
friendly as God's voice of regenerating grace. Him coming to us as a
friend and speaking to us. And so the believer begs for
more grace, being spoken to more friendly, even more. How does
God give more grace through His voice? Where does He give it? Where are we going to get this
abundance of friendly comfort and grace? Look here in verse
14. And Boaz said unto her, at mealtime,
Come thou hither. Right here. He said hither. Right
where he was talking to her. Right where he was speaking to
her. Right where he gave her comfort. Where he spoke to her. All this
grace that he gave her. And eat of the bread and dip
thy morsel in vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers
and he reached her parched corn. She did eat and was sufficed
and left. Now here's the setting. There's
a little house on the edge of this big field, this big field
of harvest. And there's a little place there
for them reapers to go and rest and get water, get in the shade,
take a break. And it's like a shelter, a pavilion,
or maybe just a roof, a gazebo or something like that. Back
home, they have big old shade trees. You all probably think
that it's maples, but we call them oak trees, but they got
real big leaves and they're big and they're low hanging. And
they're next to the fields because you go work in the field all
day and then you can go underneath that tree and you can rest. You have a
place to rest, take a break from the heat. That is where you can
get some rest from laboring. Get some shade, have a cup of
water. Now on the edge of Boaz's field, Boaz provided them a house. That was his house. They didn't
build it, he built it. And that house is where Ruth
had tarried to rest a moment. And Boaz came to that field and
he spoke to those reapers, then spoke to her, and gave her all
of that grace that was in that house. There in verse 7, the
reapers were telling Boaz about Ruth. And they told Boaz, or
in Ruth 2, 7, and she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather
after the reapers among the sheaves. So she came and hath continued
even from morning until now. She went out there and she picked
all day long. That she tarried a little in
the house. She was out there working all
day and now she's in this house, in Boaz's house. Now Boaz came
to this house at the edge of his field and that's where he
introduced himself to Ruth. That's where He told her, or
greeted her, spoke to her. And having received grace in
His sight, she begged Him to give her more grace. That's where
He was kind to her in this house. She said, My Lord, give me more
grace. Comfort me more. And the way He gave her more
grace was to tell her to come and eat at mealtime at His table. He said, You want more grace?
You want more comfort? You come here at mealtime. That's
where we'll be. Now first, let's get the spiritual
picture in all this. It's beautiful. The field, I'm
talking about Boaz's field, that's the world that we live in. It's
everything around us. In Christ's parable, he told,
remember Matthew 13, he said, the kingdom of heaven is like
unto a man which sowed good seed in his field. He owned the field. And down in verse 38, he tells
us what that field was. And he said, the field is the
world. The good seed are the children of the kingdom. But
the tares are the children of the wicked one. He owns that
field. It's his field. And this whole
world is Christ's field. He owns the whole world. He did
not redeem every person in that world. Only his elect, or his
treasure of the field. of his field. He told us another
parable in Matthew 13. He said, again, the kingdom of
heaven is like unto a treasure hid in a field. The witch, when
a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and
selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. God's elect
are cross treasures hidden in the field in this world. And
for the joy of having His people. The cross went to the cross,
and He sold all that He had, and He bought us. We're His. We're owned by Him. And He did
not redeem every sinner, only those He had paid for, those
treasures in His field, His elect. And He did it with willfulness
and joy. If I had that task laid ahead
of me, I can't imagine it being joyous. He was performing the
will of His Father, redeeming all His children. But this world
you and I live in, this is our master's field. There's some
wheat and there's some tares in it, but He owns all of it. Now next we see those reapers.
Now the reapers, that's you and that's me. Those who Christ has
redeemed, those He's regenerated, and He sent forth to bear witness
of Himself. He sends us out to bear witness
of Christ, to the harvest, His redeemed, that are still lost,
that haven't been born yet. That's the task of every one
of us. We remember there in Matthew
chapter 9, he tells us, But when he saw the multitude, he was
moved with compassion on them, because they had fainted, and
were scattered abroad as sheep having no shepherd. And he says
unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers
are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of
the harvest. Who's Lord of the harvest? That's
the one that owns a field. It's his harvest. That he will
send forth laborers into his harvest. So the field is the
world. The reapers are His witnesses.
His people He's already harvested. He's already brought out. Come
to knowledge of Him. And Ruth is a picture of one
of these lost sheep of His that was just harvested by grace. She just came to know Him by
grace. And we see that this house, it happened in that house at
the edge of the field. What's that? That's Christ's
local church in this world. His local assembly of saints.
Right here. And we're on the edge of a field,
ain't we? We're out a little ways. We're not in the middle.
Head off to the edges. We are cross-laborers in cross-field. We worship in cross-house, at
cross-table, and everything belongs to our kinsman, Redeemer. Everything
we can see is His. And it's given to His people
by His free grace. Everything we've got. Secondly,
when Christ has shown us His grace, He gives us more grace. He shows us grace, comforts us,
and then He gives us more grace in coming. Just the way that
Boaz gave Ruth more grace and more comfort. There in verse
14, And Boaz said unto her, At mealtime come thou hither, and
eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in vinegar. It is in His
house, through His gospel, that Christ first bestows grace, and
it's here that He bestows more grace on us upon those that He's
drawn. That everlasting love He pulls
us. By the foolishness of preaching,
God calls out His people. right here in every local assembly. And he hedges us up. He puts
thorns in our paths. He puts walls in front of us.
And he brings us right here. We think it's hap. We think it's
coincidence. Well, I just happened to stumble
upon that little place out there in Hamon. Did you? We look back
and we know the Lord brought us here. The Lord hedged our
steps about. Planted us right here so we could
hear of Him. And once you hear His grace,
you are comforted in Him. And you beg for more grace and
comfort, don't you? Lord, give me more. Be gracious
to us, Lord. Comfort us. Thankfully, His mercies
are new every day. Isn't that wonderful? Where do we find that message
of comfort and grace? Out in the field? Do we find
it out in the world? Don't have it there, do we? Boaz
told Ruth, he said, you come back right here to this same
house that I first gave you comfort, that I first was gracious to
you. You come back to this house and you eat bread and you dip
it in the vinegar. What's that? You come back here
where you first heard of Christ, you first had a taste of it,
and you hear of Him again. What's this vinegar he's talking
about? For us, we come back and we see,
we taste, we're reminded of what we are, that chastisement we
deserve. But then we're reminded of our
bread, how he soaked up that chastisement. He soaked up our
condemnation. He absorbed it all. How thankful
we are. How sweet of a flavor that is
to us. But how do we have this hunger and come to eat of the
bread. The only way we have true hunger
to come to His house and to feed upon Christ is because Christ
speaks to us. And He says, at mealtime, come
thou hither and eat thy bread. You know, whenever Boaz invited
Ruth, when the Lord speaks to us, we don't invite ourselves
to His table. We don't show up unannounced,
do we? We're not a surprise guest. We don't make ourselves willing
to come. We don't make ourselves able to come to His table. The
one way we have permission to enter and have hunger and to
truly feed upon the gospel is because Christ, our kinsman redeemer,
speaks to us. He speaks to me. He speaks to
you personally. He comes to you and He says at
mealtime, you come here. You come hither. and you eat
of the bread. And we come. Now some show up
and they watch. They visit the table. Some show
up and they might nibble on the parts that they like for a little
while. But those that come for rest
and are truly hungry, those that come truly thirsty, those that
come needy, it's life and death to them. It's not playtime. It's not convenient. It's life
and death. If you've ever been that thirsty or that hungry,
you'll fight somebody to get to it. They come at mealtime
to the kinsman's house and they feast because they have to. Now
notice there in our text it says there's a set time. It says,
at mealtime come thou hither. Our God is a God of order. Everything's not just haphazard
and however the cards fall, that's how it's going to be. No. He's
not reactive, he is active. He performs things and he's orderly.
I always thought that was magnificent. cells underneath the microscope,
or you study chemistry, how organized it all is. There's a certain
water molecule, there's a set angles if it's frozen, if it's
ice, or if it's liquid water. It's determined, and they're
all the same. That's fascinating to me. He's orderly. He controls
all these things. But he set a meal time for the
people of his household. Now spiritually, Spiritually,
there's a time set for each of His children to have that first
meal. There's an appointed time. If
you're His, He's set the dinner table and there's a time you're
going to be there and you're going to eat of Him. You're going
to learn of Him. You'll eat that bread and taste
that vinegar. And then physically, we have time set for feasting
on Christ. Christ arose on the first day
of the week. He has ordained the first day
of the week to be His saints' meal time. Now all throughout
Scripture we see that. Multiple times in the New Testament
it says the saints gather for public worship on the first day
of the week. That's today, Sunday. God's providence,
He's made it so we can meet for a midweek service now. Isn't
that precious? We get fed on the first day of
the week, we get fed halfway through the week too. That's
important. That's important for us. We come out of the hot field,
laboring out there in the world, our daily occupations, and we
rest here in His house, and we drink living water. We eat living
bread, feasting on Christ, and we don't worry about that field. When you're in His house, you
ain't worried about how many ears of corn you brought in that
day, or what row you got to hoe tomorrow. No, you just drink
and eat, enjoy the shade, don't we? Do you have meals through
the week? We don't eat just on Sunday physically,
do we? We eat all week. Why? You need
to. You'll starve to death. You gotta eat. I was thinking
about that too. If our country ends up having
rough shape, I mean, we think things are tough. We don't know
what tough is. If he brings us to our knees, if we had food
here, And the only physical food, the only ham sandwich you got
all week was on Wednesday nights, Sunday mornings, and Sunday evenings.
People would be stacked at that door on Tuesday night waiting
to get in for Wednesday night. You'd be knocking it down, calling
people to get out of your way, because you'd have to have it.
What a blessing if the Lord made our food that necessary. If spiritually,
I was at that door begging to get in. needful. What a desire to be hungry for
the Word of our Redeemer. Now notice that time. A few times
in His providence throughout the year, we have conferences
all around this country, don't we? In January, there's going
to be a Thanksgiving feast up in Rescue. Lord willing, I'll
be there to bring a message to them. And those times are special. And that's a big feast. It's
like a big Christmas dinner or something. A bunch of people
in there to feed us. Special time. So when's meal
time? It's appointed time. Whenever
the gospel is preached and Christ is exalted, it's meal time for
His saints. For those that Christ has made
hungry, that's when they eat. That's when they feast. Now God's
saints do not have to be given a law to come eat. We don't have to be given a bribe,
a payment, a reward to come eat. You can tell by looking at me.
You don't have to physically force me to eat food. You don't
have to pay me to eat food. If you give me food, I'm going
to eat it. I enjoy eating. I eat regularly. I do it because
I'm hungry. I like eating and I'm hungry.
I need it. The sons of God come to mealtime because they're hungry.
They need it. We have to feast on Him. Unlike
the worldly religion's tactics, I don't need to bribe anybody.
I don't need to guilt anybody into coming. I don't need to
bend the arm of any hungry sinner to come hear the gospel. I just
lay the handfuls of purpose down. I walk through the field and
cut it. They come through. Can't keep them away. I wouldn't
be able to keep them away. Job said he needed to feed upon
God's Word more than he needed to bread for his body. He told
us there in Job 23, he said, I have esteemed the words of
His mouth more than my necessary food. More than what I have to
have to stay alive. Now this flesh will die if I
don't eat. If I went long enough, fasting
long enough, I'm going to keel over. I'm going to die. But my
spirit won't die when this body dies. It's going to live. That
new man in you, that's the real you. Someday, every one of us
is going to shed this old body. But Christ in you, that new spirit
put in you, that's you. That's the real you. And that
new spirit needs the bread of Christ more than it needs earthly
bread. I need to hear of Him, the real
me, needs to hear of Him more than I need to have a sandwich.
More than I need to drink water on this earth in a desert. I
need Him. I need to hear of Him. It's necessary. Now some walk away from the house
of the Lord. They walk away from that house
on the edge of the field. And they won't assemble with
the saints. Many think they'll feed themselves. But the whole
time that they walk away, I bet they're eating physical bread.
But they're eating sandwiches and steaks. Why? They have to.
They need it to live. Well, how can they leave the
Lord's house? They don't need it for life. They can walk away
from it because they don't need it. They think they've got something
somewhere else. That's a sad state of affairs.
I pray that I'm not let go. If you're His, He'll bring you
back, but that's a hard walk back. It's not gentle. Christ's mealtime is for our
profit. When we come into this house,
it's for our profit, our benefit. He provides the pastors to preach
His gospel. In Ephesians 4, it tells us we
preach for the edifying of the body of Christ. That's for you.
To edify you. That we henceforth be no more
children tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind
of doctrine or trained. That's profitable. That we may
grow up into Him in all things, which is the head, even Christ."
We are meeting here, we are being grown here, and profiting here
through His gospel, through the teaching of Christ. So He teaches
His child to lay aside everything that would keep us from His house
at mealtime, to get it out of our way. If I'm making a decision
on something to do, if I have to make a decision on where to
live, I have to make a decision on what job I need to have or
what shift at work I'm going to volunteer for to be my new
hours, how do I know if I'm making the right or wrong decision?
You going to miss some meals? You won't miss regular meals,
will you? That's a surefire way to know. Am I going to miss hearing
of Christ? That's what Ruth was caused to
do. She sat beside the Reapers. Boaz's Reapers came from that
field and they sat down at mealtime. And here's Ruth, this poor Moabitess
girl, come in, shambles. And she was so humbled and appreciative
that she took the lowest seat in that house. She sat over to
the side. She sat beside them. She didn't
come and claim her spot by the head of the table. She sat with
the reapers. This shows the humble spirit
of Ruth, what was given to her. Humble spirit of believers. She
was grateful to be at that table. That strong, wealthy, powerful
man Boaz, her kinsman redeemer. Well, she's thankful just to
come there to eat. She didn't care where she sat. I sat in
the corner. David told us that in Psalm 84. He said, I'd rather
be a doorkeeper of the house of my God than to dwell in the
tents of the wicked. I'll sit beside the reapers.
The grace of God shows us that we are what we are and what God
has saved us from, so we have no reason to exalt ourselves
over someone else in Christ's house. And ourselves, each believer
knows that we're just worms. Samuel told us, we are beggars
lifted from the dunghill and sent among princes. And we know
it. We know we are. All of our very best righteousnesses
are nothing but filthy rags. And we know it. And we see through
a glass darkly. abound ourselves. We can't puff
ourselves up above our brethren for knowing more. What do we
know? We're babes. We see through that glass darkly.
We slip and fall on our own and sin so much we can't possibly
do anything but cover the sins of our brethren. If I see what
my sin is and I see sin in my brother, I want to cover it.
We want to hide it for them, walk in backwards, cover it up.
So we quietly and thankfully come to the house of our Redeemer
and we sit next to the Reapers, next to His people, and we wait
to be fed. Now after we see how poor and
needy Ruth was, seeing all that Boaz had done for her, freely
giving her, all this free grace, you eat all you want. And going
through the sheaves, that's not the tailings on the field, that's
the big bins where they store the corn. He said, you go through
there to the storehouse, pick what you want, that's yours.
All that grace he had showed her, drink freely, eat freely,
these servants are yours. Could you imagine Ruth going
in and exalting herself and being malicious toward one of those
Reapers, being mean to one of those Reapers to the point where
she would refuse. She'd say, you know what, I'm
mad at that Reaper. I ain't coming to this house no more. Would
she forego all that grace, all that mercy, all that love and
that comfort because she was mad at one of the Reapers? Could
you imagine Ruth being envious of that servant that was put
over the Reapers? whispering about him to the other reapers,
putting doubt in their mind to the point where those other reapers,
they might start skipping mealtime. I don't see her doing that. There's
no way Ruth could do that because she had tasted that grace of
Boaz from him. And she was just amazed she was
able to sit at that table. She was amazed to be that she
was in that house. And she tasted his grace and she wanted more.
So when Boaz told her to come to his house at mealtime, that's
exactly where she went, and gladly took the lowest seat beside the
reapers. Peter told her, he said, wherefore laying aside all malice,
and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
as newborn babes desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may
grow thereby. If so be ye have tasted that
the Lord is gracious. If you've tasted His graciousness,
lay all those other things aside. Be like a baby and say, give
me milk. Give me more milk. Give me more
milk. He'll grow you. It doesn't matter
to a child of God what's going on. We put it all aside because
we've tasted Christ's grace to us. And we come to His feet out
of necessity. Those God has made to taste of
His grace, they are hungry for God's grace. And so they obey
that command when He says, at mealtime you come hither. And
they come. We come to mealtime humbly. And
we come there and we're filled at mealtime. In His field, in
His house. So blessed are they which do
hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled. Psalm
84 says, Blessed are they that dwell in thy house. They will
be still praising thee. We'll be comforted. We'll be
paused in that. Now last, let's notice who fed Ruth and what
was she fed? Look here in verse 14. It says,
And he, Boaz, reached her, parched corn, and she did eat. The word
reached means he took the corn and he put it in her mouth. He
hand-fed her. That's real common to honor a
guest or something over in the Middle East. I've had people
grab food. I'm a germaphobe. Some stranger
comes up and tries to put a couple of fingers of food in your mouth.
You kind of rear back. But he fed her. The kinsman redeemer,
the wealthy, strong man had this homeless girl in shambles and
he hand-fed her. Here's a big feast, all these,
this big house, all these reapers for this huge field come in.
Now as a man, worldly, Boaz was rich, he was strong, he's well-known,
well-liked. Do you think he was back there
whipping up some parks corn? You think he's walking around
with a big ladle, giving soup to everybody? No. If I was him,
I wouldn't be. He was there relaxing, wasn't
he? There had to be a bunch of cooks and a bunch of servers.
to feed all these reapers. They prepared and they set the
table and they served the table. But they're not mentioned, are
they? That's not in our text, is it? Why? Christ uses preachers
and ministers to bring bread to hearers, to feed His people. But the servant at the table
is not meant to be seen. It's not recorded. They're not
mentioned and they're not remembered. Only the head of the house and
the bread that He provides is the focus. That's the only thing
that's important. And so it is in God's house.
What He provides and who He is, our head, that's important. I'm not. Christ is a sovereign
head over His house. He comes to His field just like
Boaz did. He calls His redeemed to His
house at mealtime. and he presents them the gospel
when it's preached. Christ is the one who reaches
forth his hand and he feeds us. His land, his house, his corn,
his hand that puts it in our mouth. Ten. The bread he feeds
us is that soul satisfying gospel of accomplished redemption. Boaz
reached her parched corn. Now let's think about this corn
for a minute. It came from a seed, didn't it? How do you grow corn? You take a seed and you put it
in the ground, and when it's in that ground, when it's buried
and it's broken, it comes forth. It bears much fruit. Christ is
that seed. He was put in the ground. He
was broken. And that grain, while it's in
the ground, it's bruised and it's crushed. Isaiah 53 said,
for he was wounded for our transgression, he was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace
was upon him. The corn was roasted with fire. That's why it was parched. Roasted
with fire. With our iniquities upon him,
Christ endured the fiery justice of God in place of his people. He bore the wrath of God. God
forsook God. for me. I can't imagine it. I can't explain it. It's what
was required. Psalm 32 says, For day and night
thy hand was heavy upon me, my moisture is turned into the drought
of summer. He was dried out. My strength
is dried up like a potsherd and my tongue cleaveth into my jaws
and thou hast brought me into the dust of death. Psalm 102,
it says, for my days are consumed like smoke and my bones are burned
as an hearth. He is that parched corn that
we're fed. By His obedience unto death of
the cross, by His stripes, by Him being parched, by Him being
crushed, by Him being bruised, Him being buried and coming again
with life, By His stripes we're healed, and it pleased the Lord
to bruise Him. That's what we're fed with, Him. And by His effectual grace, we
do as Ruth did. There in verse 14, Ruth 2.14. And she did eat and was sufficed. Is that good enough? We looked
at that love this morning. Is that enough love? We don't
say, you don't love me enough. No, we don't. We just weep, don't
we? Come to her and say, love me more. She was sufficed, and she left. She ate, she was filled, and
she had something to carry home to Naomi, didn't she? Look down
at the end of verse 18. There was so much more abundance
that she had a take-home box. She had a to-go box for now.
We get filled up and we share it with people outside of this
house, don't we? They go back into that field.
I've ate so much. I've been so filled. I have an
abundance. And then we go and share it with
others that we love. Couldn't make it. Somebody that
was sick or, oh, did you know what we heard today? You know
what our Lord did? Oh, it was a beautiful picture of Him. He
wrote this in Ruth and kept it for us. There in verse 18, and she took
it up and went into the city and her mother-in-law saw what
she had gleaned and she brought forth and gave to her that she
had reserved after she was sufficed. She brought some from Naomi.
Filled full. She was overflowing. So much
so she had all this extra barley she took to her mother-in-law
to feed her. Now we apply this. As Christ's witnesses, we spend
our days in the field of this world. We work out there in the
field. We live in the field. There's
a lot of hot sun, especially this weekend. It's hot, heat
of tribulation on us. We try to bear witness of Christ.
We try to help with His harvest, reap His harvest. We try to gather
the sheaths, don't we? And then at mealtime, Christ
commands us to come out of that field Out of that world and into
His house. Come here. And so we come. We
come into shade from the hot sun. We come into rest from all
of our worldly labors. We come to feast on His gospel
at His table. And He feeds us, satisfying our
hunger and satisfying our thirst. Everything we need. If you've
tasted the Lord's grace, lay aside all. Come to His house
at mealtime, and you're going to be fed by that bread of life.
You'll be sufficed. When a sinner is hungry, no one
has to beg them to come eat. Hungry souls are glad to come
to the house of the Lord. And no matter who the cook is,
they don't care who cooked it. No matter who the server is,
they don't care who the server is who brought it to them. No
matter who else is sitting at that table, If you're hungry,
no matter who you sit next to, no matter what the plate looks
like, how it's presented, they have to have bread. We want people
to be in the presence of the Master. We need to be in His
presence. Oh, that's a beautiful picture. Beautiful picture of our Lord,
what He's done for us, what He does for us every day. But remember
this, it gets sweeter. It's so wonderful that at the
end of it, there's something even better. This is just His
house out in the field. As wonderful as it is, as comforting
as it is, where all the grace comes to us, how precious it
is, this is just a shanty on the edge of a field. This is
just in this world. One day, when that harvest is
complete, and that last reaper is brought in, We will all go
with Christ to His heavenly house. Remember, Boaz come from Bethlehem.
He come out to the country, out to the field. He wasn't living
in that little house. He had a mansion somewhere, didn't
he? He had a better place. Our Master
said in Luke 22, that you may eat and drink at My table in
My kingdom. That's not of this world. We're
going to eat at His table. Drink at His table. Luke 12,
he said, Blessed are those servants whom the Lord, when he cometh,
shall find watching. Verily I say unto you that he
shall gird himself and make them to sit down to meet, and he will
come forth and serve them. He'll be our server. He'll be
our preacher. And like Boaz, that special love,
where he come and hand-fed Ruth. He'll be our server. He'll come
feed us all the time in His house, in His kingdom. If we think it's
good now, if there's times we have glimpses of comfort, glimpses
of hope, love, oh, you just feel so full and top of the world,
wait till then when we feast at His table in His kingdom forever. And until then, until that happens,
Mealtime's here. At mealtime, come hither. We'll
keep coming to Him. Keep listening of Him. Keep learning
of Him. Keep getting that milk and growing and begging for more
grace. Lord, comfort us. Be gracious
to us. Amen.
