By Invitation Only

In a board meeting and the speaker began his public prayer, “Lord, we invite your presence to this meeting.” While I understand the intent of the man’s prayer, I have to laugh at the idea that the Lord needs an invitation to be in our midst. Jesus said, “Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them” (Matt 18:19-20 NIV).
