Are you facing opposition in your walk with the Lord?
This tends to catch us off guard because we expect trouble-free progress as we pursue God.
Psalm 23 clears it up for us when it says, "You prepare a table for me in the presence of my enemies."
Your enemy's presence does not prevent you from enjoying closeness with the Lord.
So often, we put off victory until there is no opposition.
But victory is not the absence of opposition. Victory is peace and joy in the face of opposition.
Never be surprised by trouble, opposition, or persecution. Don't let it hinder or hold you back.
Simply smile and enjoy the banquet of righteousness, peace, and joy that God has already prepared for you, right in the face of your enemies.
