IN THE PRESENCE OF MY ENEMIES

AUGUST 12th - CAPSULE 12

TOPIC: IN THE PRESENCE OF MY ENEMIES

BIBLE TEXT: Psalm 23 vs. 5 – Thou prepares a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

• When does God make your cup overflow? In the presence of your enemies.

• When does God anoint your head with oil? In the presence of your enemies.

• When do you need goodness and mercy the most? In the presence of your enemies.

• When do you need the rod and staff of His comfort and protection? In the presence of your enemies.

Can you see this? The very fact that you’ve made it this far proves His goodness and mercy have been with you all – not just some but all the days of your life.

You may say, “But I’m still struggling – ‘Wonderful! Struggle is a proof that you refuse to surrender, and that you haven’t been conquered. As long as you hold that position, God can do something for you. He can send His Spirit; He can send His Word; HE can send friends who have been where you are and who are strong where you are weak. If you are teachable, you are reachable. Just keep an open heart and listen.

His promise to you today is, “Thou prepares 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” (Psalm 23 vs. 5 – 6)

Prayer: Lord, may I continually be in your presence without distractions.

Lord, help me to sincerely stay in your presence to make my glory shine and have my full rest.

Insight: Today is one of those days.

Capsule One - (WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY?)

May 1st – Capsule 1 TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY? BIBLE TEXT: Let us lay aside every weight and sin which easily beset us … Hebrews 12 vs. 1 You will start getting well when getting well is what matters most to you. Let your desperation drive you beyond concern about the opinions of others. As long as you are more conscious of people than you are of God, you will never get what you need. When Hannah, Samuel’s mother, prayed in the temple, there was so much locked inside her that when she began to pray and pour her heart out, Eli thought she was drunk (see 1 Samuel 1 vs. 13). God is raising up people who will confound us – radical Christians. Like those on the day of Pentecost, they were hungry for God. They will raise the roof to get to Jesus. They had carefully laid plans, and cry like blind Bartimaeus, “Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me” (Mark 10 vs. 47). When you are blind, all that matters is receiving your sight. When it looks like there’s no way out fo...

DO TI NOW

May 11th – Capsule 11 TOPIC : DO IT NOW BIBLE TEXT : Redeeming the time, because the days are evil – Ephesians 5 vs. 16 How many times have you said, “I will do it tomorrow?” sometimes you put somethings off because you don’t think you know enough, can’t do it well enough. The fact is, there is no magic age at which excellence emerges and quality suddenly surfaces. Thomas Jefferson was 33 when he drafted the Declaration of Independence. Charles Dickens was 24 when he began his Pickwick Papers, and 25 when he wrote Oliver Twist. Newton was 24 when he formulated The Law of Gravity. A second danger is to think that creativity and invention belong to the young. Not so! Emmanuel Kant wrote his finest philosophical work at age 74. Verdi at 80 produced crossing the Bar, and Michelangelo completed his greatest work at 87, Moses was 80 when he led God’s people out of Egypt and 120 when he got to Canaan. Seize the day! Redeem the new moments of your life. Because the time and age ...
