“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over” Psalm 23:5, NKJV.
My wife doesn’t like it when she labors and cooks dinner, but when it’s ready, the kids don’t come to the table to eat.
Jesus has done the labor and paid the cost. Your enemies will go hungry, but your Shepherd doesn’t want you to. He has prepared a table before them just for you. Come and eat.
Be encouraged to come sit down with the Father and eat today. You don’t have to check your bank account. You don’t have to be perfect. With all your private struggles and mistakes. Come to the table. You don’t have to wrestle with it. Come to the table. Jesus is enough and the joy of the Lord is your strength. You can come boldly to God’s throne, obtain mercy, and find grace in your time of need. You can pray with thanksgiving and get peace that passes all understanding. You are God’s son. Yes, you are a man, but don’t handle it alone. Everything you need is at the table.
Prayer: Father, I give You praise. Jesus, you are enough. I come to the table. I’ve been trying to figure out life and the challenge on my own. Help me to sit down and practice Your presence, Father. Help me to decide quicker not to wrestle about it, not to become anxious about it, but come to You about it. I can feast on your faithfulness. Cause my cup to run over today. Everything I need is in you. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
“Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” – Hebrews 4:16
