Ishmael's Appeal - part one



Ishmael's Appeal - Part One
He looked from his place of disgrace
at the Kings table...set with grace
and everything else set in the right place.
The Patriarch's of the chosen race
were feasting on the blessing...
that was to be his...he thought???
His appealing position....
of who should have the right
to that place of grace?
Was the best man of the human race...
Certainly....
he had the right for this place.
But.....God's sovereign favor....
was given to a chosen man
who was in second place....
But....his mother's discontentment
of their place in the human race...
banished him from the King's table of grace.
Since he could no longer sit....
at this great table of grace....
he made his own table.... in it's place.
But... when his seat before the king was set
at this new table for his place...????
He set it with his desire to race
to be the first in the Kings face...
Making this new place setting...
a seat for all to see
and for the Father to see and admonish him....
Thus...making this new kings table
much better then the one....
that banished him....
and sow....#####; he thought????
