Psalm 23:5
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
Why would a loving Father dare to put His dear child right in the presence of those that seek that child's hurt, and expect the child to enjoy great goodies He's placed before them? Is that child not going to cower in fear and terror?
Yet God who is all powerful knows that He has no enemy greater and stronger than Him. He only sometimes allows His children to go through the dark valleys to strengthen them. In due time, He brings them rest right before their enemies, knowing that with Him close by, the enemies can't harm His children.
David who wrote Psalm 23 had had his fair share of pain and frustration, running away from King Saul and living in constant fear of being sought after to be killed. And yet after all this, God glorified him.
Joseph was glorified in the presence of those who had enslaved him and imprisoned him, those who had laughed at him and mocked him, and probably called him a no body, and teased him about his silly faith in a so-called God. Joseph's faithful God silenced them all and made Joseph a lord over their lives.
Next, we shall look at how God set a table before Mordecai in the presence of Haman his enemy.
WHAT IS NEXT?
