Isaiah 25:6-9
On this mountain the LORD of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wine, of rich food full of marrow, of aged wine well refined. And he will swallow up on this mountain the covering that is cast over all peoples, the veil that is spread over all nations. He will swallow up death forever; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from all faces, and the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for the LORD has spoken. It will be said on that day, "Behold, this is our God; we have waited for him, that he might save us. This is the LORD; we have waited for him; let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation."
A feast of fat things and wines on the lee awaits those who wait upon the Lord: a festival of fatness, full of marrow; of richness overflowing, well refined. For now, we rehearse so as to arrive well-versed in gratitude. We don't want to be out of celebrating shape when we cross the threshold of the eternal banquet as we enter into God's mercy and grace.
Getting into fighting trim means feasting well and waxing fat.
