As our Shepherd, Jesus has invited us to a banquet
table laid out in the presence of the devil and all of hell,
where we can feast upon the provisions of His tender
mercies. Psalm 23:5-6 says: “Thou preparest a table before
me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my
head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and
mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will
dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.”

Jesus is not talking about the marriage supper of the
Lamb or any heavenly feast, because none of our enemies
are present in heaven. He is referring to an earthly
celebration where we can come and feed on the meat
of God’s Word at His table. We come to that banquet by
an act of our will, by faith. Verse four says: “Yea, though
I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will
fear no evil.”

Instead of enjoying the tremendous feast, most people
want to get underneath the banquet table and eat the
crumbs because they feel so undeserving. God has trouble
getting them to receive what He has provided. They forget
that although Jesus is the only one worthy of being there,
He has extended His mercy to us and paid the price that
we might eat with Him.

Remember what Psalm 23 says: “Surely goodness and
mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will
dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.” Can you see
what God is saying? It is a sure thing that His mercy and
goodness will follow us. His mercy is with us through
the good and the bad in our lives. And if His mercy is
continually following us, then think how easy it is for
us to stop and embrace it.
