([Location 314](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B08J5XSJWC&location=314)) - Don’t give the Enemy a seat. Don’t entertain his ideas. These thoughts are not from a good and trustworthy Shepherd. Move on. ([Location 321](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B08J5XSJWC&location=321)) - My task was to concentrate on the Good Shepherd, the One who owned the table. ([Location 331](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B08J5XSJWC&location=331)) - My destiny was set. I didn’t need to be afraid. The Shepherd was at the table, and He would see to it that I was going to dwell in the house of the Lord forever. ([Location 336](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B08J5XSJWC&location=336)) - From 1 Peter 5:8, I knew that a major tactic of the Devil was to prowl around my life. So maybe I couldn’t stop the Devil from prowling around my table, but in Jesus’ name I definitely did have the choice whether I allowed the Enemy to sit down. ([Location 337](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B08J5XSJWC&location=337)) - The table He’s prepared for you is one of peace, clarity, and abundance. You don’t have to give the Enemy a seat at your table. ([Location 372](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B08J5XSJWC&location=372)) - Even though bad things happen, I will still praise the Lord. Even though bad things happen, I will not let my mind be lost to the Enemy. ([Location 447](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B08J5XSJWC&location=447)) - Even though I am surrounded by enemies, God has prepared a table for me, and I will sit down with Him. ([Location 640](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B08J5XSJWC&location=640)) - “In Jesus’ name, I won’t entertain your words, your thoughts, your influence.” ([Location 767](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B08J5XSJWC&location=767)) - Woven into the Devil’s pitch that it’s better at another table is the trickery of comparison. The Devil always tells you that there’s a better table somewhere else. ([Location 800](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B08J5XSJWC&location=800)) - humility is not thinking less of yourself; humility is thinking of yourself less. ([Location 861](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B08J5XSJWC&location=861)) - THE HOLY ONE INVITED YOU HERE. BOOKED THE TABLE. PREPARED THE MEAL. SAT DOWN TO JOIN YOU. AND THIS RESERVATION COST HIM EVERYTHING. ([Location 884](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B08J5XSJWC&location=884)) - I don’t want average. I don’t want the easiest path. I want to know God intimately, deeply. And I want my life to defy human explanation. ([Location 2237](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B08J5XSJWC&location=2237))
