Good Morning Sunshine! “There’s a Reservation with Your Name on It!”

Psalm 23:5 ~ “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.”

“I’m not sure why I’m still here… but I’m continuing to sit here.” Maybe you’ve felt that before; sitting in a space of waiting, wondering, watching others be called forward while your name hasn’t yet been spoken aloud. But let me tell you: Don’t get up. Don’t leave. Don’t miss your opportunity at the table. There’s something God is preparing that’s worth the wait. It’s not a delay, it’s divine timing. You’re not being overlooked, you’re being positioned. God is waiting on you, not just to arrive, but to be ready.

Have you ever made a reservation at a restaurant or hotel? You may have anticipated a fine dining experience, beautiful ambiance, and attentive service. You looked forward to the meal, the moment, and the memory. But when you arrived, perhaps what you expected didn’t meet your expectations. Maybe you were told your reservation had been lost or that you needed to wait longer, or the experience was less than what you hoped.

In contrast, God never loses a reservation He’s made for you. There is a spiritual table prepared just for you, crafted with intention, grace, and divine timing. Everything on the table is set to nourish your purpose, refill your spirit, and release the next level of your calling. But here’s the question: Are you ready to sit at this table? Because reservations mean nothing if you don’t show up. Worse still, you can arrive and still not be ready, unprepared in heart, distracted by pride, or delayed by disobedience.

Read this story slowly and carefully; A Fine Dining Experience Missed. A woman once received an invitation to dine at a high-end, reservation-only restaurant. Everything was paid for, her seat was confirmed, and the chef had prepared a special menu just for her arrival. But when it was time to go, she hesitated. She didn’t feel dressed well enough. She second-guessed if she truly belonged in a place so upscale. She became so overwhelmed with doubt, she stayed home. Meanwhile, the table sat empty. Her name stayed on the list. The food was ready. The moment was waiting. But she missed the experience, not because it wasn’t available, but because she didn’t believe she was prepared. So many of us do the same thing with God. He has called us, chosen us, and even reserved something special with our name on it, but we continue to forfeit what’s ours because of fear, insecurity, unrepentance, or disobedience. We let sin, shame, or delay rob us of what’s already been prepared. God is saying: “Your seat is still waiting. But I’m calling you to be ready, cleaned, clothed in righteousness, and walking in obedience.”

This was a Divine Table setup with Purpose just for you! The reservation isn’t just about provision; it’s about positioning. This table represents more than a meal, it represents your purpose, your identity, your inheritance. God isn’t calling you to sit and snack; He’s calling you to dine and discern. There’s wisdom at the table, instruction at the table, impartation at the table. But your heart must be postured to receive. What’s on the table cannot be consumed casually.

It was prepared in the presence of your enemies, which means the table was set in warfare. It was anointed with oil because your assignment will need fresh grace. Your cup is running over because what’s for you will bless others, too. But none of that matters if you allow disobedience or doubt to keep you standing outside the door of your own destiny. Have you become so used to delay that you’ve stopped expecting to be called forward? Has compromise dulled your appetite for the things of God? Or maybe you’ve been so hurt by past disappointments that you’re afraid to believe that there’s still something for you. But God says today: “This table has your name on it, and I’m still calling you forward. Come. Be ready. Be willing. Be whole.”

You don’t have to strive for this seat. You just have to surrender. The enemy wants you to think you’re not qualified, but God says you’ve been justified. The garments you thought disqualified you have been exchanged for robes of righteousness. Your seat is not earned, it’s granted by grace. You have nothing to prove, just something to accept. Will you accept your seat at the table He prepared for you?

Let’s Pray:
Father, I thank You for preparing a seat for me at the table of purpose, destiny, and divine fulfillment. Thank You that my seat hasn’t been removed, my name hasn’t been erased, and my reservation still stands in Heaven. Forgive me for every time I forfeited what was mine because of fear, insecurity, rebellion, or delay. Cleanse me afresh. Prepare me to show up clothed in humility, ready in obedience, and expectant in faith. Father, help me to stop eating from tables that You didn’t prepare for me, tables of distraction, discouragement, and compromise. Let my soul long for Your presence and Your purpose. Let my heart be stirred with urgency to walk in alignment and surrender. Father, don’t let me miss what’s mine. Awaken me to the call and open my ears to the invitation. Teach me how to recognize the moment when You say, “It’s time to be seated.” Remove every weight that slows me down and every voice that makes me doubt my seat. Reignite my passion for Your Presence and reestablish my confidence in Your promise. Let me sit not in pride, but in purpose. Let me receive not in arrogance, but in awe of Your grace. And when I take my seat, Lord, let my life reflect Your glory. Let my cup overflow with love, peace, wisdom, and favor, not just for me, but for every life I touch. This seat isn’t just a reward, it’s an assignment. And I say yes to it. I say yes to the table. I say yes to You. In the Name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!

Blessings…
Love, Minister Jean
