Reflection for the week 5th September
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies
Psalm 23:5
When I face the opposition of the enemy, Lord, I can run to the table you are preparing for me. I am seated beside you – and I drink of your wisdom, I eat of your truth, and I am satisfied. I am saved here at your table. My enemies and worries fade in the presence of my Host.
At each sitting I am nourished by your banquet. When I leave the table to face my day, your goodness follows me. I am filled with your satisfying love. When I fear my enemies, I think of the security of your eternal home. I shake my head in amazement that you promise to protect me, prepare the way for me and reserve a place for me at the table of your grace. You welcome me into your presence, and I am blessed.
