A TABLE IN THE PRESENCE OF OUR ENEMIES
I am hearing more and more lately about the Table that the Lord sets before us and I have been meditating on that scripture from Psalm 23.
This is the Word He gave me today: See, He lays a table before us in the presense of our enemies. He gives us the choice things to show our enemies His great love, but shall we not also receive the bitter herbs from His hand and rejoice in the face of our mockers, even so He gives us sorrow to confound our foe, and shall not we lift up to Him our cup of woe to receive His blessing in return?
As I was talking to God about this word, He spoke to me about the many times I have been exposed in my grief to my enemies. He said that none of my troubles come as any surprise to Him, but that He and my unsaved onlookers are looking to see just how much of Jesus I have in me to combat my affliction. He said that too many times I have held these things close to heart like a sore hand and not offered it up to Him to heal and care for. His word says to cast all our cares on Him, that we are not to bear them ourselves, He says we are to let go of our lives and allow Him to guide us through.
Lord, how often have I held back from you my suffering when you longed to take it from me? Help me Lord to give to you all my concerns to allow you to do your deep work in my life so that I will impact others for Good. Thank you Lord, In Jesus' Name, Amen
