Written by Anthony O’Neal, a contemporary writer. This is an excerpt from his book “Take Your Seat at the Table.”

I don’t want to sit at a table made by people. I don’t want a life that is planned by people and powered by people — especially when I am one of those people! Instead, I want to sit at the table God built for me. I want my life to be filled with divine purpose and spiritual power. For that to happen, I have to stop trying to make everything happen in my own strength… your life was given to you by God for a spiritual purpose. Therefore, you will waste everything you’ve been given if you fail to fill your table with spiritual power. Where do you get that power? The Holy Spirit, for starters…You can invite the Holy Spirit to be part of your table. In fact, you must invite the Spirit to be part of your table! I recommend you invite Him every day. Ask Him to inform your decisions and guide your steps. Believe the truth that He is present with you and will empower you to achieve your purpose.

I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in Me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing. [John 15:5]
