Most people think that when the Bible states that God will prepare a table before our enemies(psalm 23:5), it means to come back literally at the person you call your enemy and wave your success in their face, well that's not how it's supposed to be.
In Matthews 5:44 the Bible states that we should love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us.
Now who are the enemies that God will prepare a table before ?
Now here's my theory..
The hardships n the persecution that you have been put through or are going through at this juncture, God says you are going emerge victorious no matter how big or terrible they are (Romans 8:28).
Now the table being set before your enemies, yes it might be literally before the people
Who have been persecuting but the vital part is you have been praying for them in the same manner.
Now when the table gets set before them it won't to be bring glory to you but it will be to give glory to God, in other words people will see his greatness through you and they will feel the need to glorify God because that's what God wants.
It is not about anybody but God so let's make our motives/intentions right with the lord.
