Broken Tables

The legs of My tables of fellowship are broken

And cannot stand

The legs are broken

And my tables lean

They lean and the food slides off

And does not stay

No fellowship can be had

At these broken tables

No meals can be shared

No bread and wine of My presence

Can rest upon them

Come into My house and look

It is filled with broken tables

Broken tables where no one sits

And the food slides off onto the floor

Where it is eaten by dogs

My house is full of dogs and broken tables

Where are My people?

My people have left

Because they cannot sit at broken tables

Even if I give them food

It cannot sit on a broken table

And slides off onto the floor

To be eaten by dogs

In frustration

My people have wandered off

In search of food

Lest they eat from the floor with the dogs

Pray for these broken tables

Pray for the legs of these tables to be fixed

So that they may stand

Yes, so that they may stand

And hold My food

I have food for My people

I have many tables in My house

But they are broken

And need to be fixed

Pray for the bread of true fellowship

To be restored

That My people will return to My house

To sit at My many tables

And eat the abundance of My bread

And be filled

"For My name will be great among the nations, from the rising to the setting of the sun. In every place, incense and pure offerings will be presented in My name, because My name will be great among the nations," says the Lord of Hosts. "But you profane my name with your actions. By bringing contemptible food, you are saying it is alright to defile the Lord's table. And you say, 'What a burden!' and you sniff at it contemptuously," says the Lord Almighty. "When you bring injured, lame or diseased animals and offer them as sacrifices, should I accept them from your hands?" says the Lord. (Mal 1:11-13)

Now the first covenant had regulations for worship and also an earthly sanctuary. A tabernacle was prepared. In its first room were the lampstand, the table, and the Bread of the Presence. This was called the Holy Place. (Heb 9:1,2)

Jesus said to them, "Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is My Father Who gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."...Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry and whoever believes in Me will never be thirsty...I am the bread of life." (John 6:32-48)

"First let the children have their fill," He said. "For it is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to the dogs." "Yes, Lord," she replied, "but even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs." (Mark 7:27,28)

You are the ones who have stood by Me in My trials. And I bestow on you a kingdom, just as My Father has bestowed on Me, so that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. (Luke 22:29)
