Welcome to the Daily Blade. The Word of God is described as the sword of the spirit, the primary spiritual weapon in the Christian's armor against the forces of evil. Your hosts are Joby Martin and Kyle Thompson, and they stand ready to equip men for the fight. Let's sharpen up.

Welcome to day four of week two of the 23rd Psalm. We're going to start

from the beginning again. The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in

green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of

righteousness for his name's sake. And yea, though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death

i will fear no evil for you are with me your rod and your staff they comfort me and now check this part out

and you prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies you anoint my head with oil cup overflows. Let's reverse engineer this a little bit.

You anoint my head with oil. This is a coming picture of the anointing of the spirit of God

on anyone who would believe in Jesus. My cup overflows that God's love is poured into every

single believer of Jesus to the point where your

body, your person cannot contain the love of God anymore. Therefore, the love of God is supposed to

overflow out of us onto other people. That not only are we supposed to love the Lord our God

with all our hearts, soul, mind, and strength, but we are supposed to love our neighbors as ourselves, and we are even supposed to love our enemies. Why? Because

you and I were enemies of the Lord Jesus Christ. And instead of coming down and thwarting us and

immediately conquering us and sending us to hell, he ransom us, he bought us, he paid for us,

he loved us at the cross, and invited us who once were enemies to become sons and daughters of

the most high king. And so that is how our cup is to overflow. But David says that God prepares a

table before me in the presence of my enemies.

Now don't you scratch your head sometimes and think, well, God, if you are the shepherd,

if you are the sovereign king of the universe, if at your will everything quakes, if the,

lightning strikes where you tell it to and the seas below where you rage them,

then why don't you just wipe out my enemies?
