“You serve me a six-course dinner right in front of my enemies. You revive my drooping head; my cup brims with blessing.”
Psalm 23:5
When the sheep can’t seem to go the ‘second-mile’, the Good Shepherd stops in enemy territory, sets up a protective perimeter, and revives his flock with an all out spread.
His hospitality goes beyond expectations: six-course dinner right in front of the enemy; soothing oil for the head; blessings flowing over the brim. With the Shepherd as host, there is no lack of good things.
Fed and well rested, the flock follows as the Shepherd leads on.
As you feast with Christ during these forty days, reflect on the following …
Reflection
When was the last time you felt like you couldn’t go the ‘second-mile’?
How has Christ nourished you beyond expectation?
In what ways do you have blessings flowing over the brim?
