A Thanksgiving Devotion: Jesus Prepares the Table by Guest Speaker Jason: Scripture Reading: “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.” — Psalm 23:5 (ESV) “And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.’” — Luke 22:19 (NIV)

We can’t make a garden grow, but we can definitely be the reason it doesn’t grow! -lack of water -too much water -too much sun -not enough sun, etc. Same goes for community! The Holy Spirit does the work. We are just instruments. The Holy Spirit makes a community or relationship truly grow.
