ANOINT MY HEAD
An
explanation of Psalm 23:5.
"You prepare
a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows."
Sheep can get their head caught in briers and die trying to get
untangled. There are horrid little flies that like to torment sheep by laying
eggs in their nostrils which turn into worms and drive the sheep to beat their
head against a rock, sometimes to death. Their ears and eyes are also
susceptible to tormenting insects. So the shepherd anoints their whole head
with oil. Then there is peace. That oil forms a barrier of protection against
the evil that tries to destroy the sheep. Do you have times of mental torment?
Do the worrisome thoughts invade your mind over and over? Do you beat your head
against a wall trying to stop them? Have you ever asked God to anoint your head
with oil? He has an endless supply! His oil protects and makes it possible for
you to fix your heart, mind, and eyes on Him today and always! There is peace
in the valley! May our good good Father anoint your
head with oil today so that your cup overflows with blessings! God is good and
He is faithful!!
