Feasting and Foes

Don't you think it's interesting that Psalm 23:5 declares that those shepherded by God will actually feast in the presence of their enemies? Given the choice, I think we'd rather dine in peace and safety, but if life has taught me anything (and therefore simply confirmed what the Bible proclaims as fact), it's that purity comes by way of the furnace, maturity comes through trouble, and fellowship with Jesus comes through suffering.

For the believer, being in the presence of enemies is no cause for alarm. It's a time to feast on the riches of Christ and to be satisfied with His comforting presence.

And thanks to a good friend and Grooveshark, I've found a great long-lost song by Russ Taff that talks about the Table In The Wilderness.
