We Christians are New Testament priests and kings unto God (Revelation 1:6). As such we are privileged, with our families, to eat at God's royal table just as Mephibosheth, the crippled lame son of Jonathan was privileged to eat at King David's royal table until he died (2 Samuel 9:3-8).
Fathers, when we read the Scriptures and pray and worship together at the conclusion of every family meal, we turn our ordinary table into a royal table where we dine with the King of Kings and Lord of lords.
