I choose Joy. I choose Trust.

You're invited...to God's dinner table!
How do we get on your guest list?
“Walk straight,
act right,
tell the truth.
“Don’t hurt your friend,
don’t blame your neighbor;
despise the despicable.
“Keep your word even when it costs you,
make an honest living,
never take a bribe.
“You’ll never get
blacklisted
if you live like this.”
{Psalm 15:1-5}
I can think back to several times when I was not invited to something that I wanted to be a part of, then later I saw the Facebook pictures of the event or whatever it was, and got upset. Verse 1 made me laugh out loud. Who cares if I get invited to _____'s birthday party, or _____'s wedding?! There will always be room at God's dinner table.
How do you get to be on His guest list? Well, this passage clearly (very clear, it's the message) says what we need to do.
1. Be honest, walk the straight & narrow path, act right (like Jesus).
2. Don't hurt your friends, don't blame other people, only despise the truly despicable.
3. Always keep your word (no matter what it costs you), make a living the fair and honest way (remember to work as if working for the Lord), and never take a bribe, because they are not right.
Then scripture goes onto say that you will never be uninvited from God's dinner party if you continue to live in this way. (v.5)
I am definitely going to RSVP to God's dinner party. I hear He's a great host ;)

The sick need a doctor
As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at his tax collector’s booth.“Follow me and be my disciple,” Jesus said to him. So Matthew got up and followed him. Later, Matthew invited Jesus and his disciples to his home as dinner guests, along with many tax collectors and other disreputable sinners. But when the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with such scum?” When Jesus heard this, he said, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do.” Then he added, “Now go and learn the meaning of this Scripture: ‘I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.’ For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.”
