Seed for June 2

Ps 23:5
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
(KJV)

What exactly does that verse mean? To me it profoundly expresses God's divine provision, and my "rest" in Him. Can you imagine your enemies on every side waiting for the chance to destroy you? Just like Israel in the desert. And in the midst of all danger and threat, God has you to sit down and eat a meal in the sight of all your enemies. The Lord doesn't just prepare a sack lunch, but a table spread full of all delights. You think to yourself, "I should be watching for destruction". And the Lord is saying, "Sit here, let Me feed you, and enjoy!" To me that is exactly what it means to "rest" in God. No matter what faces us, mountains on 2 sides, a sea before us, and the enemy closing in on our rear, we sit down to a table prepared by God Himself and we eat a feast of victory! Is anything too hard for our God? Call on His name, Jesus, and watch Him move and manifest His presence in the midst of the storms of life, or the raging sea, or the presences of our enemies! Glory to the highest name that can be named, Jesus! Even the devils are subject to us in that name! Be blessed.
