God is Preparing a Table Just for You
The LORD is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; He leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to His name.
Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for You are close beside me. Your rod and Your staff protect and comfort me. You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. Surely Your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the LORD forever. Psalm 23:1-6
I want you to know that God is preparing your table. That’s right. God is at work right now preparing a custom-made table just for you, and it’s big. Everyone will see it. Yes, even the people in your life who bring you pain and wish you ill will see you at the table God has prepared for you. The same people who are determined to bring you down will be the very ones in whose presence God will bless you.
God will rub their faces in it. He will prepare a six-course meal for you right in front of them. He will bless you so much so that they will not be able to go anywhere without hearing about you or seeing your face. Everywhere they go, there you are, doing God’s will and getting blessed. You see, obedience to God’s Word will produce blessings in your life.
Now, of course, you are not trying to rub all those blessings in their faces, but God is. “Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies.” God will bless you in front of your enemies, and they won’t be able to do a thing about it.
You can take your place at the table. Everyone will see that you are healed, delivered, and that you are victorious in every area of your life. Your enemies will be forced to acknowledge that someone is helping you. And then you can testify and tell them, ”The Lord is my Shepherd; I don’t need a thing.”
The table the Lord is preparing for you could be your future spouse, your financial breakthrough, your maximum healing, or your family members coming to the Lord. For others, He is preparing restoration for their family, and blessings everywhere they go. It is up to you to make a choice to receive what He has for you.
God is not going to prepare your table in secret. It’s going to be done in the presence of those who make fun of and ridiculed you with things like “You don’t need to be doing all that church stuff, or why are you always at that church?”
Yes, there is a feast of the Lord going on. And you’re invited. So just sit down and partake. You can eat whatever is there. Then God will give you more. He will feed you as long as you are willing to sit down and receive.
If you were like me and only heard Psalm 23 at funerals, then I hope that this little series has enlarged your image of the good Shepherd. Let me know by making a comment in the comment section.
Will you choose to to sit down and receive everything that He has for you? Now, that’s the choice-driven life!

Prayer for Salvation:
God in Heaven, I come to You in the name of Your Son, Jesus. I confess that I haven’t lived my life for You. I believe that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that He died on the cross and rose again from the dead so I might have a better life now and eternal life in heaven. Jesus, come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. From this day forward, I’ll live my life for You to the best of my ability. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.

Hi Olga!
You are an awesome woman of God! I was so blessed by this posting…I cried when I read this, this is just what I needed. I am going to school preparing for the ministry, and I will also be publishing my first book this summer, please keep me in your prayers. I have been going through this season and have been under attack recently, and sometimes I get a little discouraged, but I have been pressing my way through! God bless you richly!!
Thank you so much Angela for letting me know what is going on in your life; keep up the good faith, trust God and everything will turn out ok. Stay in touch with me ok?
This is a beautiful post..I sensed so much how much God loves us and How much He wants the very best for us….He is such a good God; He knows how to turn everything for the good and all that before our own enemies!! wow!!
What God has for me, it is for me. Truly this post is a message straight from the mouth of GOD AND DIRECTLY TO THE CENTER OF MY BEING. I freely give My Father the glory and honor for this message for which He has been getting me ready to RECEIVE for seven months to SIT DOWN AT THE TABLE that He has prepared ~ and only He has prepared ~ for me.
I’ve never really understood why Psalm 23 is reserved for funerals, although it’s a beautiful reminder that even in death we are never alone…. but it’s a Psalm for every day use, to pray with, to sing…
I love the book edition – wish I could remember the title – that delves into this verse from a shepherd’s perspective, where you get to learn about sheep’s way… it’s was such a delightful discovery!
The part I loved the most was learning why a shepherd carries a lamp across his shoulders…. so the lamb can get familiar with the shepherd’s voice. Now that’s where I want to be, right up there next to His face!
You love to write don’t you Susan? Every time I read one of your comments, I can see that you are a writer! Thanks for your awesome comment again!
We only get the good gifts when we are willing to receive them. We only get the good spot at God’s table when we accept His invitation!
Yes Matthew, I agree; we can come to that table only by invitation…but then…everything is available to us abundantly!!
It is so good to know God has our backs. I don’t know how unsaved people do it. What hope do they have? And not just about our table being prepared in the presence of our enemies… but real, true hope!! God cares about us SO much that He’s willing to rub it in our enemies’ faces. What a great God that He cares for us SO much! Thanks for a great post.
Hi Olga, blessed be the name of God who inspire you with such wonderful, purpose based and wide coverage service which I and I hope many others are swallowing consistently. keep it up and may God pour up on you his unlimited grace and wisdom again which bear more and much fruit for a generation.GOD bless you much
Thank you Olga. i totally believe that He (God) will do more than i expect.

Do you know that it’s time for this word of GOD to be made manifest? because the year is coming to an end and at the end it shall speak it will not tarry. you are a Good message post at this time to make one have love for God and his word, and live a purposeful driven life. Thank you.
Thanks for this post, Olga! This series has been such a blessing in my life. God does have much in store for us. May God continue to bless you and use you to promote His kingdom!!
Hi Olga, thank you for today’s reading it was right on time. I got up this morning singing Psalm 23. God is so good!!! I come into agreement with everything you said because I want everything that He has for me!!!
I’m just now reading this post, but, YES…God will prepare your table right in their faces after you have walked with Him through it all.
Right now I became the laughing stock of everyone including my family but I know that God is preparing for me. They are trying to bring me down but the devil is a liar! I am waiting for that financial breakthrough from my Lord, my Saviour! Thank you and God bless🙌
