Prevailer - Thou preparest a table for me in the presence of mine enemies.
I’ve pondered over this one for quite some time. Were I to be set amid those I’d consider my enemies, even with the Lord’s protection, I’m not sure I’d have the stomach to sup. Most of my enemies are of my own making – I’ve pushed some away and avoided others I’d rather not befriend. Somehow, I don’t feel that is how Christ would want me to behave. So has He prepared the table for me to sit in front and ABOVE them, or to sit WITH them, perhaps to make them enemies no more? And then I have to face who the Lord considers my enemies. I’m sure I’d be staring at someone I value or something I treasure. For the Lord says, Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. Matthew 7:14. Yet I am comforted in knowing He delivers me from my enemies. You also lift me up above those who rise against me; You have delivered me from the violent man. 2 Samuel 22:49
