Psalms 23:5-6 NIV
Psalm 23 voice
5 You spread out a table before me,
provisions in the midst of attack from my enemies;
You care for all my needs, anointing my head with soothing, fragrant oil,
filling my cup again and again with Your grace.
6 Certainly Your faithful protection and loving provision will pursue me
where I go, always, everywhere.
I will always be with the Eternal,
in Your house forever.
The Table
Provision, Rest and Relationship in the midst of your enemies
there is a table for you today
The Oil and Cup
5 You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Its a declaration that you are Chosen as royalty,
Its a picture of the Spirit of God anointing you
Isaiah 10:27 The Passion Translation (TPT)
27 In that day the Lord will remove the heavy burden from your shoulders and break off the yoke of bondage from your necks because of the heavy anointing upon you!
2 Corinthians 1:21 TPT
Psalms 28:8 NKJV
2 Corinthians 10:3-4 TPT
2 Kings 6:15-17 NIV
1 Corinthians 10:15-18 The Message (MSG)
15-18 I assume I’m addressing believers now who are mature. Draw your own conclusions: When we drink the cup of blessing, aren’t we taking into ourselves the blood, the very life, of Christ? And isn’t it the same with the loaf of bread we break and eat? Don’t we take into ourselves the body, the very life, of Christ? Because there is one loaf, our many-ness becomes one-ness—Christ doesn’t become fragmented in us. Rather, we become unified in him. We don’t reduce Christ to what we are; he raises us to what he is. That’s basically what happened even in old Israel—those who ate the sacrifices offered on God’s altar entered into God’s action at the altar.
