The good man has his enemies. He would not be like his Lord if he had not.
If we were without enemies we might fear that we were not the friends of God, for the friendship of the world is enmity to God.
Thou preparest a table, just as a servant does when she unfolds the damask cloth and displays the ornaments of the feast on an ordinary peaceful occasion. Nothing is hurried, there is no confusion, no disturbance, the enemy is at the door, and yet God prepares a table, and the Christian sits down and eats as if everything were in perfect peace.
Thou anointest my head with oil. Every Christian is a priest, but he cannot execute the priestly office without unction, and hence we must go day by day to God the Holy Ghost, that we may have our heads anointed with oil.
My cup runneth over. He had not only enough, a cup full, but more than enough, a cup which overflowed.
Charles Spurgeon
