Refuge at The Lord’s Table.
Today, Pastor Michael is talking about so many things: regrets, sins, finances (or lack of them!), relationships, and how the world can turn all of that into a rough place. We need a refuge, a shelter from all of that. We need a place to go when we are hurting, stressed and confused. Is there a refuge like that?
Yes, God has made that place and welcomes you into it.
The core idea today is this: “Chaos in my situation, contentment in my soul.”
(CSB Bible Notes) 23:5 The image shifts from shepherd to friend. The identification of the Lord with a shepherd emphasizes his care and protection, but he is much more than that for a person who is in close fellowship with him. While protection from enemies is still implied, it is intensified with the image of a banquet (table) that is served while the enemies look on. In Jewish society oil was a symbol for rejoicing (104:15) and was also used in the welcoming of guests.
Verses can be found in Psalm 23.
