 ♪Come to the table♪

Wednesday, February 11, 2026 (4:12 a.m.)

Blessed God,

Thank You for Your invitations.

(4:31 a.m.)

As sure as I was about the song I thought I was singing, I was one word off. The tune I woke with is actually

♪O Come to the Altar♪

(4:54 a.m.)

Just a one word difference. Yet blessings to be found at each.

Jesus, thank You for Your calls for us to, “Come…” All who are weary (Matthew 11:28). Those who thirst (John 7:37).

(5:25 a.m.)

Father, I long to accept the invitations to “Come…” I confess to being one who much prefers not going. Do all You must in making me ready for whatever today’s rainy day adventure has in store for us.

I love You. I need You. I trust and want You.

I’m confessing ingratitude and disappointing dissatisfaction with Your choice of weather for us this day. The one You have made (Psalm 118:24a). In which I am to rejoice and be glad (24b). I’m asking (Matthew 7:7a) You to work in, with, by, through and for me in changing my attitude.

Here’s a smile. A bit of a lighter spirit. Even a tiny chuckle. Use me exactly as You know is best Dearest Dad. 

♪Are you hurting and broken within

Overwhelmed by the weight of your sin

Jesus is calling…

…O come to the altar

The Father’s arms are open wide…♪

Thank You for inviting me. Prepare me to receive all the hidden blessings You have for me this very rainy day. Praise You God. Amen.
