At the Table

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies." Psalm 23:5a

Every day I sit down at the banquet table of life,

Spread before me an array of sumptuous blessings,

Spread around me an array of terrifying enemies.

Confusion

Anxiety

Fear

Uncertainty

How can I possibly choke down the delicious meal,

In the presence of these dangers?

My host sitting at the head of the table,

Is the Master of the universe, the Ruler of all creation.

He has invited me to this feast.

He blesses the meal.

He blesses me.

I eat my fill,

Undisturbed,

By the presence of enemies,

For I am the guest of the Lord of the Feast.

Thank you for this food....Amen.
