‘Consider When Eating With Leaders.’
Proverbs 23:1-3.
(When invited to eat with leaders they are often watching us. Something is revealed in the way that we eat)
a) Proverbs 23:1. When we sit to eat with a leader we should consider diligently what is put before us.
b) Proverbs 23:2. If we are given to appetite we should really have self control.
c) Proverbs 23:3. We should not be desirous of the leader’s dainty food, they are deceitful meat.

c) Genesis 32:10. We should pray with humble hearts and words.

Chris.
When invited to eat with leaders they are watching us. I remember hearing the story of a Christian leader who owned a large chain of stores in the USA. When interviewing for managers he would take the candidate for a meal. If the candidate put salt and pepper on their food before tasting it they would never get the job. We should bear this in mind, when invited to eat with leaders they are watching us.
