At His Table

While the king sitteth at his table -Song 1:12

Which in His times He shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords -1 Timothy 6:15

He is called “the King.” I am told that the Hebrew word is very emphatic, as if it said, “The King”-the King of kings, the greatest of all Kings. He must be such to us-absolute Master of our hearts, Lord of our soul’s domain, the unrivalled One in our estimation, to whom we render obedience with alacrity. We must have Him as King, or we shall not have His presence to revive our graces. And when the King communes with His people, it is said to be at “His table,” not at ours. Specially may this apply to the table of communion. It is not the Baptists’ table; it is not my table; it is His table, because if there is anything good on it, remember, He spread it; nay, there is nothing on the table unless He Himself be there. There is no food to the child of God unless Christ’s body be the flesh, and Christ’s blood the wine. We must have Christ. It must be emphatically His table by His being present, by His spreading it, His presiding at it, or else we have not His presence at all. I find the Hebrew word here signifies a “round table.” I do not know whether that is intended which I understand by it-perhaps it is-it suggests to me a blessed equality with all His disciples; sitting at His round table, as if there were scarce a head, but He was one of themselves, so close the communion He holds with them sitting at the table; so dear His fellowship, sitting like one of themselves, made like unto His brethren in all things at His round table.~ C.H. Spurgeon

    • I have no idea. I hope all is well. Keeping her in my prayers that she will trust our Beloved through the trial she is facing. It may be that the blog has become an interference with her life right now. Hopefully, she’ll start a new one soon and bring us testimony of His faithfulness to her.

  1. Now that’s not to say that any of us could quit WordPress at any time like for health reasons we drop dead or when the Pre Trib Rapture takes place or He tell us to but like life our time on WordPress is temporary.
