Table in the Presence of My Enemies

"They dwelt in the presence of the enemy, because they dwelt in the Presence of God."*

God never promises Believers a life of luxury. HE does promise Perfect Peace in the midst of the daily grind & battle. We must condition ourselves to have a laser-like focus on the One willing to die for us - Jesus! Then are we able to dine in the presence of our enemies as the Saints of old (i.e. David; Daniel; Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego; John; Paul; etc)
