A Feast In The Midst Of Enemies
God’s Table Of Abundance
David, the psalmist, said, “You made a feast for me in front of my enemies.” You put oil on my head; my cup is overflowing.”
This verse paints a beautiful picture of how God always provides and watches over us. It tells us that God is still with us and taking care of us even when we are surrounded by bad people.
The fact that God set a table for us shows how much he has. The table is piled high with food and drinks; it’s a table that’s full of goodness.
That God is a God of plenty is shown by this table. He is the one who meets all of our spiritual and physical wants.
It’s easy to feel scared and alone when we have enemies all around us. But when we remember that God has made a feast for us, we can feel happy and at peace. We know God is with us all the way to the end and that we are not alone.
