A PLATE OR A TABLE? - A Set Table Series 005
Psalms 23:5, KJV
"Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over".
A plate or a table? So far, we've settled the idea of 'a table being prepared before you'. You now know what that means partially. It comes at no fee when a table is prepared before you. It's the work that God does solely and He bears the cost.
Meanwhile, we ought go further to reveal another thing about the prepared or set table. That place says, "Thou prepared a table before me". It didn't say, "Thou prepared a plate before me". It rather says, "a table". What's the difference between the setting of a table and the setting of a plate before anyone? When you set a plate, the honour is little. A plate is just one solitarily container. It may be a plate of rice and that'll be all. A table is however different. What God wants to bless us with is a table. A table illustrates the highest blessing of God and the awe of His provision to man. The day you get where it's a table that's always set before you when you dine, it could be concluded you're no longer feeding stringently. The idea of a table being prepared or set before you therefore means your being furnished with assorted foods. It is not a plate on the table now. It is plates, bowls and even pots on the table. This is a blessing of the feast.
We have our choices to make. We can stay at the blessing that only affords us a plate or we take the handle of God's leading as we've been saying and be led into the discovery of God's provision mine. When a table is set before you, it literally means a table is furnished for you. It means you have become royalty and God is treating you as one. When a table is set before you, God gives you an array of foods to choose and eat from. You will have a whole long list of menu from which you can decide what to eat or not. That's a table set before you. When a table is also set before you, it denotes the blessings of having a family or multitude at the table with you. It's a level of blessing having food to eat alone but another blessing having to eat with friends and family. A plate restricts you to yourself but a table makes you a generous man, the kind I believe you want to be.
In famine you shall laugh is what the Bible says (Job.5:22). Don't despise God's leading. He's still in the business of leading His own to the discovery of provision. It is this doing of His that prepares before you a table. May you discover as we have said. May all these prove for you.
PRAYER: It is You who prepares a table before me. Thank You Lord.
