**"THE VALLEY TABLE"**
*A Psalm of Provision in Dark Places (Inspired by Psalm 23:5)*
---
### **1. INVITATION TO THE VALLEY FEAST**
*"You spread a table where wolves howl nearby,**
*White linen pressed over death’s dusty ground.**
*‘Sit, child,’ You say, ‘though the shadows loom high—**
*This meal was prepared before time had a sound.’"*
---
### **2. THE MENU OF MIRACLES**
*"No famine here—see the chalice overflow!**
*Bread of Angels on a platter of pain.**
*Bitter herbs of my grief, now transformed below**
*Into sweetness by the Lamb who was slain."*
---
### **3. THE UNLIKELY SERVANTS**
*"Fear waits to pour, but You hand him the cup—**
*‘Turn this to courage,’ Your whisper commands.**
*Sorrow brings the first course, lifted up**
*To the Chef who cooks loss with heavenly hands."*
---
### **4. THE ETERNAL TOAST**
*"We drink to the Promise—‘No grave holds you tight!’**
*Clinking our glasses with saints gone before.**
*Death himself scowls, but he’s lost his right—**
*Your crumbs mock his might as I beg for more."*
---
### **5. THE AFTER-DINNER LIGHT**
*"When the feast ends and the valley still yawns,**
*You wrap leftovers in resurrection lace.**
*‘Tuck this hope in your pocket till dawn—**
*My tables always have saving grace.’"*
---
**SCRIPTURAL SIDES:**
- *Psalm 78:19* (Can God spread a table in the wilderness?)
- *Song of Solomon 2:4* (His banner over me is love)
- *Revelation 19:9* (Marriage Supper of the Lamb)
**PRAYER OVER THE MEAL:**
*"Thank You for feeding me *in* the fight,**
*Not after, but *amid* the fray.**
*Let every enemy watching tonight**
*See Your lavish love and walk away.**
*I’ll linger long at this valley board,**
*Chewing each morsel of mercy You give,**
*Till shadows shrink and the sun’s restored—**
*And death learns how the *redeemed* eat to live."*
This isn’t just survival food—it’s *victory cuisine* served by nail-scarred hands! 🍞🍷✨
