Grace for your spirit
Then Jonathan said to him, "Tomorrow is the new moon, and your seat will be empty. I Samuel 20:18
Saul was King of Israel, and David was the anointed King. Saul's son and David were friends, but Saul hated David. The strife between them would force David away from the king's table. He would be missing. In most of our church gatherings, we seem to have "our seat." When we miss the gathering our seat is empty. Whatever the reason for our absence, our seat in empty and we are missed. It is even worse when strife drives us away. Let's all beware of the empty seats around us next time, and make an extra effort to let them know they are missed.
