Louie Giglio | – EVEN THOUGH – Don't Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table


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

Jesus has prepared a place for you and Him to be in a relationship. A place where you can come to Him and receive the truth of who He says you are. The trouble is that too often there is a third party at our table. The enemy is constantly prowling around waiting for an opening, an invitation from us to pull up a seat and steal, kill, and destroy [support us] /> —
Here’s the good news. Even though the enemy longs to sit at your table, our Good Shepherd has laid down His life to be the only one with a right to sit with us. We are so prized and valued by Jesus that He paid everything to be with us, and we have to make sure that we don’t extend that same honor to the Enemy.

  1. That message was very powerful. He spoke so much truth that we need to take in. We can’t live life without a shepherd. We would be lost and allow for the enemy to take captive of our thoughts. We must sit face to face with our SHEPHERD that gave his life for us. Only HE is allowed to sit at our table. NO ONE ELSE! The enemy is going to try to sit with us but we must recognize when it happens and CALL UPON GOD immediately. DONT GIVE THE ENEMY A SEAT AT YOUR TABLE!!!!

    BEAUTY OF THE LORD!

    And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us” (Psalm 90:17).

    The man of God, Moses’ prayer finds a place in the book of Psalms. In the last part of the 90th Psalm, he fervently prays saying, “And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us.”

    You always like to buy what your children like to have. The wife knows what her husband likes and cooks accordingly. The husband knows which saree will please his wife. So, pleasing each other is what has become the life in this world.

    But, have you seasoned your heart to please God who gave His life for you and in turn receive His love? Have you not saddened God by initiating to please man? Have you not saddened Him by involving in worldly lusts or the sake of pleasing your friends? Have you not ignored God by committing many sins simply covering your conscience with a blanket which is fashion?

    David says, “Teach me to do your will” (Psalm 143:10). Firstly, let such a prayer rise in your heart. Humble yourself and plead to God saying, God, help me so that I love you more and lead a life which would please you more.

    Secondly, evaluate every deed of yours in the presence of God. Before doing anything, review yourself with the following questions. “Will this act be pleasing to God? I want to go to this place and will He come with me? Do all my conversations please God?” Your conscience itself will answer all the questions. Do not do anything which might grieve God.

    Thirdly, Paul the Apostle says, “Finding out what is acceptable to the Lord” (Ephesians 5:10). The experiences of life and the Scripture will reveal this to you. The servants of God will preach you in this regard. These factors will help you in identifying what is pleasing to God.

    Dear children of God, during this brief life in the world, if you live in a pleasing way to God, He will bless you in this age or in the age to come. He will graciously provide you with the blessing of praising God in His presence through singing and dancing eternally.

    To meditate: “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6).
