The
first line of this scripture was quoted
"And
David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling
block, and a recompence unto them:" "Let their eyes be darkened, that
they may not see, and bow down their back always."
A
person’s “table” was thought to be a place of safety, but the table of the
ungodly is a trap.
Many
people trust in the very things that damn them.
In
the 23rd Psalm, we see the opposite of this table.
"Thou preparest a table before me in the
presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth
over."
David's
table was a blessing and theirs was a curse. They did not have their heart
right with God.
"Charge
them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in
uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to
enjoy;" “That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to
distribute, willing to communicate;" "Laying up in store for
themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold
on eternal life."
We
see from these three Scriptures that to whom much is given, much is required.
This does not mean just wealth of money, but has to do with knowledge of the
Bible as well.
To know God and His Word and then to sin is much worse than to
sin in ignorance.
