When I think of Thanksgiving Day, a mental image of a huge feast appears! It is the preview of all the great food to follow through New Years. Unfortunately, my wife is an excellent cook and I never leave the Thanksgiving table without over-eating. There are just too many choices that are scrumptious! While I love the food, the calories are my worst enemy in battling the bulge.
However, the feast that Solomon describes above is without guilt or remorse over calories. When we are close to God, we can't help but have a merry or peaceful heart. While the world may be raging about us, He gives up peace in the middle of the storm. You have seen those that retain their composure no matter how devastating the events surrounding them. Such strength can only come from God. He will allow us to feast on His mercy and strength while others struggle to cope.
Do you hunger to feast from the table set for a merry heart? If so, seek Him and He will give you a bountiful feast for your heart without the calories!
But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
Psalms 13:5-6
