Dinner’s ready

“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.” (The Bible, Psalm 23:5)
One day, God said to Satan, “‘Have you considered My servant Job?’” (The Bible, Job 1:8) God was proud of Job, a just man, a man of integrity, who feared Him and shunned evil. Angry and jealous, the devil literally riddled him with trials, taking everything from him, including his health.

But, after restoring Job, God multiplied his goods, riches, and health (see Job 42:10). Imagine how distressed the devil must have been! God could well have told him, “Satan, accuser of the brethren, you lost! Job, my child, won! I prepared a table before him in the presence of his enemies.” (see Psalm 3:7)

I believe with all my heart that God wants to restore and bless His children. Yes, He prepares a table before you in the presence of your enemies. And when it’s God who prepares the table, not only are you out of danger…you are covered with blessings!

If you’ve experienced painful situations, Jesus can comfort you, heal you, forgive you, and give you life again—even life in abundance. Think of Job, who had lost everything…but God magnificently lifted him up!

Here is something you can do today…

Be seated at the table God has prepared for you. In the face of your enemies and difficulties, God never stops nourishing, blessing, and filling you with His joy and peace. Enter into His presence; come to His table!
