Was God there last time you ate with one of your family members in Christ? Did you know he was there? The early church really seemed to know this. When they ate together they were celebrating not just God’s provision, but God’s presence.
In Exodus this morning, I read the covenant ratification passage (Exodus 24), and the part where Israel’s leaders go up on the mountain. Now I’m always moved by the phrase in 24:9, “God did not lay his hand on the chief men of the people of Israel.”
But today I’m stunned by the next phrase, “They saw God, and they ate and drank.” I’m stunned because my friend Ken Easley and I are going to be eating lunch at Huey’s, and the Triune God will be in attendance.

Thank you for a beautiful observation. Eating and drinking with other humans is always a mysterious event. He is here. And, we rarely see that/him in those encounters.
