"Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies..." Ps. 23:5a
Ah! How often we seek for deliverance from trials and temptations, eagerly looking for Christ to remove them for us. Often we believe that we won't have perfect peace amid trials or temptations and we long to be delivered. Or we believe that we will be taught by passing thru trials, not abiding in them. But here we have promised a King's table--The King's Table--in the presence of our enemies. Let us look, not for deliverance, but for sustance; not for a new promise--one of deliverance--but for fulfillment of a promise already given. Let us look, not for healing, but for grace; not for deliverance from temptation, but for strength to resist. We are not in the furnace alone, nor solitary in the lions' den, nor lonely thru the wilderness, for there is always One preparing a table for us.
~Seek not deliverance, but The King's table~
