A TABLE SET BEFORE YOU - A Table Set Series 004
READ Psalm 23
Psalms 23:5, KJV
"Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies..."
The idea of 'having a table set before you or anyone' means provision and resources at no fee. If you say this is a table set before me, we want to believe you're saying, "this is the Lord's doing and it's marvellous in our sight" (Psalm 118:23). I'm not talking of what any man facilitates or puts together to work. "A table sets before you" immediately means you or any human didn't labour to bring the table and its good content into being. It's rather God's doing and response to providing for you because you have first heeded his leading (as we've been examining). I'm striking it at the core and bearing witness that it is nothing but God's sole work. The moment a man, a woman cries out saying, "He sets a table before me", it means God has brought such man vindication and celebration. Now that it is time to feast, God has made provision in excess and has lavishly and ostentatiously prepared a table before him. This is not a meal where you pay as you eat. No! It comes at no cost and that's because the bill has been footed. That's because Heaven's Resource Center (HRC) has taken care of that.
Many of us experienced this on campus where one way or the day, God fed us through those who for once never asked us to cast a dime in the purse. It's a sole act of God to minister to His own and any who has been admnistered by Him. The day you become like goods that could be consigned anywhere (yet being waited for and monitored by its owner) is the day you'll begin to enjoy the best of God. Our problem is that we still bear testimony in our heart that God can fail. Knowing that, we seek to help God so that He doesn't fall apart on what He can't keep (as we conceive). Look at you, messy child. Those who did didn't enjoy that way. God wants you come to a place where though you're in the car, he wants you to release the stirring wheel. But you know you won't if you believe that though God is invisible, He is intangible also. Does it mean you won't work? No, you can or you will but God wants you trust Him for your needs. He doesn't want salary become your base of confidence. There'll be many things that your salary can't still get you that you'll need in life. When would you have saved long enough for it? If God says, do this for me, fear would strike your heart and you'll quickly protect the Isaac you have in your bank account even when you don't know that His thought far outweighs yours. While He can tell you to slaughter your Isaac as a means of dependence and loyalty to Him first, God just do provide for His works. If you are not His work and that errand in your hand is not also, then both of you may be free of His commitment. If men are the people who have made you and not God, then God may recline and watch you go far to see whether you can go farther. But I tell you, if you be His work just like Elijah said if I be a man of God, you shall immediately or on the long run receives proves of being His work - one whose body can be turned and can be ordered to the discovery of a table set before him.
When God says to Elijah, turn thee hence Eastward, it's to the end that he'll find Brook Cherith where appointment must be kept with those black dispatch riders. It's to the end that Elijah might come to the discovery of provision that awaits him. Now, I put it to you, answer God. Did Elijah pay one penny or render one service to the ravens for his need that was met? When God sent him, God prepared a table before him. He furnishes one for him there. He got there to meet that. He didn't get there to begin scratching his head on statistics. What if statistics doesn't provide you sticks to count? You'd be worried. But thanks be to our God who leads us to victory and leads us to an end where there's a table that he has prepared. To this end, we can shout hallelujah!
PRAYER: I solely trust on You to be my sixth and best sense. Guide me to where a table has been set before me.
