DAY 5: HEALING & PROVISION

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Psalm 23:5

God prepares a feast for us, despite the attacks of our enemies. There is bountiful provision awaiting us on the other side of sickness, heartache, and financial strain. Our feasts may look different, depending on our season of life. You may need wisdom for a parental decision when facing a bullying situation at your child’s school. I may require guidance on a business decision related to stewardship and allocating resources. Not only does He want to bless us spiritually and relationally, but “my cup overflows” also means there is a promise of tangible substance in the areas of prosperity and abundance. In addition to filling our cups of spiritual growth and relational favor, God is more than capable of sustaining our natural needs within our bodies and bank accounts. He desires that our cups overflow in all areas of life. “Preparing a table in the presence of my enemies” is a refreshing promise that declares victory when we’re under attack. He will provide for all my needs, despite gossip against me or negative circumstances engulfing me. Regardless of our situation, take heart in knowing that the Creator of the universe is faithfully providing security and serenity, even in the eye of the storm. He also “anoints my head with oil.” God is still in the business of physical healing. He is the same God yesterday, today, and forever and the same miracles he performed over two thousand years ago are still available to all who believe. I had seen countless medical miracles that can only be explained by God’s ability to do the impossible when people thought a situation was hopeless. Healing power is still alive today. Regardless of the rigors of the journey, we have a table prepared for us when we feel surrounded by the enemy. There is a God in Heaven who nurtures us through sickness or injury and will also pour out a blessing we can hardly contain.
