Picnic With Jesus
At The Tasty Picnic, we want to give you the opportunity to welcome the presence of God while enjoying your picnic. The ability to dwell in the presence of God is the greatest luxury that has ever been given to us. As the verse quotes above, when we are gathered in his name, he will be there. And when Jesus comes, he brings peace, love, and joy.
“For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”
Matthew 18:20 KJV
How to invite the presence of God?
Worship
To invite the presence of God, it is vital to start with Gospel music to worship God and to express your gratitude. All of our picnics come with a Bluetooth speaker so you are welcome to play your favorite gospel artist, and sing along!
“Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.”
Psalms 100:4 KJV
Prayer
Then prayer will follow that. When praying make sure that you confess ALL your sins to God and repent to ensure that your heart is clean, so that God can hear your prayers. Then humbly ask him to come dwell with you and your loved one while you enjoy your picnic.
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
1 John 1:9 KJV
God’s word
Lastly, read a verse or a chapter of God’s word either in the Bible app, or in your own physical bible and discuss it with your loved one. It's very important to be intentional when inviting the presence of God, so make sure you are being mindful of your conversations. Talk about how you can apply the scripture(s) you read in your daily life or how it relates to an experience you’ve had.
“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”
Joshua 1:8 KJV
