Yahweh is our master and Lord. But he is not like Pharaoh; he does not make us produce bricks without hay. He is not deaf to our pleas. God always hears our prayers, and he gives us all that we need. He gives us our daily bread. We are his servants; therefore he does ask us to follow him. He asks us to obey him. But his law is freedom; his yoke is easy and his burden is light. But we are called to this life in faith. You are called to believe the promises of God, plead the promises of God to God, and to come here to receive the strength of God for all your tasks. Here, God gives himself to you, his life to you, for strength for blessing, for all your tasks, for all your labors. Eating here means that you are strengthened to obey out there. So come and eat as servants of Yahweh. Come drink as the subjects of the King of Heaven and Earth. And believe the Word of God that says come to me all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
