Psalm 123:5 (NIVUK)
5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
After walking through the darkest path, this psalm now brings us face to face with our enemies, but even then we don’t need to fear, for God remains with us. God’s presence can turn the worst of situations into a feast, into riches. This is not a glib God will make all things wonderful, or an act of denial – our enemies are real and we have to face them – but we face them with God, and that changes everything.
Who or what are your enemies. Take some time to pray about them, or even for them. Ask God to speak to you and into the moments when you come face to face, and see what he does.
