Psalm 23:5

God is not only our provider, giving us what we need to survive, but He is a generous God. Rather than leaving a food package by the door, He’s set the table and laid out a feast. This speaks of honour, and of rest. We are invited to come and sit at the table, to tarry, spending time in fellowship together with Him rather than grabbing a bite to eat on the go. The table is a point of meeting with God.

We can sit and relax at the banquet table under His protection, while the enemy is not part of the fellowship. David is noting the great contrast between the destiny of Gods people and those who are hostile to God.

The disciple John writes: “Anyone who does not belong to God will reject us” (1 John 4:6). Sometimes the resistance is not because of us, but because God is rejected in us (2.Cortinthians 2,15-16 / Psalm 2,2).

Paul writes in Colossians 1:27, “Christ is in you the hope of glory.”
