BIBLICAL FATHERHOOD--THE GREAT NEED OF THE WORLD 11m) THE SHEPHERDING FATHER HAS KNOWS THAT GOD IS BIGGER THAN OUR ENEMIES
Men, it's good for us to know that no matter how many enemies surround us and who would like to devour us at any given moment, the Great Shepherd has prepared and provided us with an amazing table, overflowing with the most wonderful, miraculous, and delicious food. Exactly what we need for each new day.
Psalm 23:5 says, "Thou preparest a table before me in the PRESENCE OF MY MINE ENEMIES." I believe God wants our attention to be more on the table than our surrounding enemies. The devil wants us to be taken up with his works of darkness, even though we despise every aspect of them. The more we negatively get absorbed with all his crafty, subtle, and evil works, the more anxious we become and more likely to panic.
I believe as Christians that we should not be overly consumed or concerned with what the devil is doing. Rather, our undivided attention should be on what God is doing. We find out what God is doing as we eat and fellowship at His PREPARED TABLE. As we eat at this table we will be so filled with His Spirit and power that no matter how big the Goliath we face, like David we will slay him like a fly on the wall.
Be encouraged.
