Eating together is a big deal to God.
Find some examples of the importance of "being at the table together" in the Old and New Testaments. Here are some to get you started: Genesis 18: 1-16; Psalm 23; Isaiah 55:1; Acts 2:42.Few of us need to be told that a meal is a sign of hospitality and friendship. When you make plans to get together with friends, how often does it involve eating? The Isrealites believed that when they shared fellowship around a meal that they were experiencing God's goodness.What are signs of God's goodness and blessing that we can derive from sharing food with others at the same table?Do you say a blessing over your meals? At home? In restaurants?When we do so it is not to somehow make the food holy or taste better, it is to make US more holy and aware of God's presence and provision for us.
