THE GOOD WOMAN HAS HER ENEMIES

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Psalms 23:5

The good man has his enemies. He would not be like his Lord if he had not. If we were without enemies, we might fear that we were not the friends of God, for the friendship of the world is enmity to God…

Thou preparest a table… Nothing is hurried, there is no confusion, no disturbance, the enemy is at the door, and yet God prepares a table, and the Christian sits down and eats as if everything were in perfect peace.

Oh! the peace which Jehovah gives to his people, even in the midst of the most trying circumstances!

May we live in the daily enjoyment of this blessing, receiving a fresh anointing for every day’s duties. Because it’s in that pain when the Lord squeezes out that which is built in us.

Every Christian is a priest, but he cannot execute the priestly office without unction, and hence we must go day by day to God the Holy Ghost, that we may have our heads anointed with oil.

We have not only enough, a cup full, but more than enough, a cup which overflows. A poor man may say this as well as those in higher circumstances, “What, all this, and Jesus Christ too?” Aren’t we so rich brethren? Rich also in the riches of His grace?
