In Psalm 23:5, King David reflects on the fact that God will prepare a table for him in the presence of his enemies. And the king had a lot of enemies, even his own brothers, who belittled him. This passage is often contorted to suggest that those who belittle you will get a front-row seat to watch your success. But there’s a better way to look at it. It’s not so much a “haha” moment for you but rather an “aha” moment for those around you. They get to see and experience the outcome of your faith in the One Who did what He said He would do (Genesis 28:15).
