The Table Is Set

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. Psalms 23:1-4 ESV

Unchecked disobedience will cause at best discontentment and at worst real destruction.

If you’re not being comforted and corrected, you’re not growing as a disciple.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Psalm 23:5 ESV

David, while still running from Saul, had awareness of God’s presence, favor and provision.

God is an expert on what your spirit needs, and on when and how to prepare and provide it.

Are you just borrowing God‘s kitchen to cook what you want, or are you trusting Him for the menu, recipe, and finished meal?

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life… Psalm 23:6a ESV

I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23:6b ESV

He has put eternity into man's heart. Ecclesiastes 3:11 ESV

The guidance and goodness of God are a safe and satisfying place for every homesick soul.
