In
Luke 22:11, Jesus is talking to Peter and John about the Passover. He told them to go into the city and find a
man carrying a water jug. They were to
ask the man, "Where is the guest room in which the Master could eat the
Passover with his disciples?"..
Jesus said that the man would show them an upper room, all furnished,
and that they were to make preparations there.
I wonder if Jesus is wanting to meet us in a guest room - the guest room of our hearts.
There's a room in my
heart God is wanting to use
for daily communion
with me.
He is waiting, for I
have to open the door
to the pleasure of His
company.
But before I can open
the door to my heart
I will sweep out the
thoughts that keep us apart.
God will brush down the
cobwebs of worldly care
and banish the worries
that want to live there.
Then we’ll cover the
speaker that brings in the words of the world that surrounds,
and demands to be
heard.
Now I’ll rest, as I
wait. Preparations are made.
and the hour is at
hand, and the supper is laid.
In the stillness He
comes,
Awesome
God, gentle friend
to the room in my heart
–
still
small voice in the wind.
