In this study, bestselling author and pastor Louie Giglio relates how
several years ago he experiencing one of his toughest seasons as a
leader. He was feeling attacked, and in a moment of weakness, he fired
off an angry text to a friend. It took him five minutes to compose the
message—paragraphs of woe about the one causing harm. The nine-word
text back from his friend simply said, "Don't give the enemy a seat at
your table."
Louie relates how this simple text led him to realize that he had been
allowing his adversary—the devil—into the conversation going on in his
mind. He had, in fact, been giving his enemy a seat at his table. In
turn, this led Louie to Psalm 23, one of the most loved texts in all of
Scripture that has comforted God's people throughout the ages.
As group members go through this study, they will see they have the
power, through Christ, to take back control of their thoughts and
emotions. As they uncover the meaning behind the words of Psalm 23,
they will discover that God is saying they do not have to give a place
to fear, envy, or despair in their lives. Ultimately, they will walk
away with practical ways to defeat the enemy's lies and know how to
experience peace and security in the midst of any situation as they
learn to listen to voice of their Shepherd.
