• Jeremiah 4:18
  Your ways and your deeds have brought this upon you. This is your doom, and it is bitter; it has reached your very heart.”
  Ezekiel 24:14
  I am the Lord. I have spoken; it shall come to pass; I will do it. I will not go back; I will not spare; I will not relent; according to your ways and your deeds you will be judged, declares the Lord God.”

Once again doing a scripture search for the phrase “have it your way” we find the results that tell us that God is not “The Burger King”.

We have free will, we can have it our way. What is on the menu?

Burger King changes its menu to satisfy its customers. That franchise feeds off the pride of  choice. 

The King of Glory does not change His menu. It does not cater to the whims of man. He has set the table before us and we will eat or we shall go hungry.

Psalm 34:10 English Standard Version (ESV) The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.

What is on the Lord’s table is all good. Is it to our liking? Is it what we want?

Here is a random thought, when at the Lord’s table, what do you put on your plate? Do we think that we actually get to pick and choose what we partake of at the Lord’s table or is this a formal dinner where servants place those items before us according to the Feast Master’s planning?

These are things we rarely think about. We go about our day making plans for our lives as if we are making all the choices. Then suddenly something goes wrong. This is not according to plan, this isn’t what we had envisioned for ourselves.

What got in our way varies greatly. It could be as simple as a phone app that isn’t working properly or test results from our doctor that brings bad news. Whatever it is, we have to deal with the frustration of not getting things our own way.

Has it reached our heart as Jeremiah says or have we considered Isaiah’s words in how we shall be judged?

Sound judgment is found by serving the right King.
