“You
prepare a table before me.” Ps 23:5 NKJV
When the Psalmist said, “The Lord is my shepherd” (v. 1),
he was affirming that he had a very personal relationship with God; one that
was unique. God has given each of us a one-of-a-kind personality, gifting,
purpose, and calling. And He wants a relationship with you that is unlike the
one He has with anybody else. Just like your fingerprints are unique, so also
is God’s interaction with you.
Therefore you need to learn how to hear His voice and to
know when He is speaking specifically to you. The Psalmist goes on to say, “You
prepare a table before me.” Think about it this way. When you’re waiting for a
table in a restaurant and your name is on the waiting list, sometimes the
hostess will give you a pager to hold. Then when it’s time to be seated, the
pager will vibrate or light up. In the meantime, you have every confidence they
are preparing a table for you, and that if you’re patient, when it’s ready the
pager will vibrate and let you know. Are you getting the idea?
As you read God’s Word and spend time with Him in prayer,
something begins to vibrate and light up in your spirit. That’s “God’s pager”
leading and guiding you, and preparing the circumstances just for you. Paul
writes, “And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from
his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus” (Phil 4:19
NLT).
How many of your personal needs will God provide? All of
them! So stop worrying so much and instead put your trust in Him!
