Peace

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies

God is a peacemaker. He brings his children together at one table, in communion, and settles peace among us. Who wants to eat with enemies? No me. And yet I am called to the table, and called to leave behind hatred and pain. I can't do that on my own. I need God's help. He prepares the table -- consider his preparation to be prevenient grace. His preparation of the table, and of me, makes the meal possible.

Consider the passage from Isaiah (11:6):

The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them.

He brings us peace by bringing us to peace.
