We want out of the furnace as quickly as possible. But it’s interesting that God doesn’t promise that he will hit the Eject button every time we are surrounded by hardship, trial, and challenge. He promises something even more powerful and stunning. Right in the midst of the fray, in full view of the things that are threatening us, our Shepherd spreads a table of provision for us. It’s a table for two. One seat for you and one seat is for the God who is for you.
