Dear Friend,
The other night, I was sitting quietly with Psalm 23, and verse 5 caught me in a new way: “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.” (Smiles & chant).
I imagined God setting a table, not a rushed, thrown-together snack, but a table set with care, with detail, with beauty.
What moved me most is that this table is not prepared after the trouble is over, but right there in the presence of everything that tried to break you.
That means your celebration doesn’t have to wait until life is perfect. You can start feasting even while the challenges are still around you, because the table is a reminder that victory is already yours.
I think back to the seasons where I felt surrounded by disappointment and betrayal. I didn’t know it then, but God was already setting a table for me, moments of laughter, unexpected friendships, small breakthroughs that reminded me I was not forgotten.
Friend, your table is being set. Even if all you see right now are empty chairs, know that the feast is coming. The same place where you wept will one day echo with joy.
Waiting with you,
