You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
David found favor with God and was provided for even when his enemies sought to destroy him and steal his most cherished possessions. He was not intimidated by his enemies, even when they were nearby. Perhaps David knew the adage about keeping his friends close, but his enemies closer. At the moment when David penned Psalm 23, his fiercest enemy was his own king, Saul. Yet his best friend was Saul's son, Jonathan, who was to be the successor to the throne. God clearly had a greater purpose for David. David loved his king, but that love was not mutaul because of Saul's jealousy and greed. David's testimony was that God was always close, no matter what trials he faced. Even when David forsook the Lord later in his life, God never pulled His will from him. From this I see God's unconditional love for those who are not intimidated by Satan's evil ploys. Pastor John
