"WHO are You Inviting to Dine?" (Isaiah 56:8-12) - Daily Manna - 04/08/26

Apr 8, 2026    Rabbi Cosmo Panzetta

Who does God invite to His table?


In Isaiah 56:8–12, we see the heart of Adonai as the One who gathers the scattered, welcomes the outsider, and calls the thirsty to come and eat. This teaching explores the stunning invitation of God to those who have been excluded, overlooked, poorly led, or left wandering like sheep without a shepherd. It also confronts the failure of blind watchmen and selfish shepherds who offered people distraction instead of truth, numbness instead of satisfaction, and confusion instead of care.


God’s house has room for the broken, the outsider, the forgotten, or the spiritually hungry. The Lord is still gathering. The banquet is still being prepared. The question is: who are we inviting to dine?
