Feasting

I enjoy eating. Maybe a little too much here my freshman year. But my eating habits have changed since I moved out of a house where the food was always plentiful.

I was sitting out in the cold for college group Wednesday night, feeling very well fed from my dining hall dinner, when my ears perked up a bit. Kyle Dunn was speaking on God's grace and mercy. We don't have a limit to the number of times we can approach the throne. I began thinking about it in the sense of a feast.

Traditionally, we eat three meals a day. That is all the dining hall serves here, and once you've been there, there is no going back. However, God's throne is open more like my Thanksgiving Day buffet. Once it starts, there is no limit to how many times I can return - only when supply runs out if the buffet over. But God's grace and mercy have no beginning and no end, and the supply is infinite. So let's feast upon grace and mercy, but let us not be gluttons.
