Why God Feeds First

There is a pattern in the bible I wanted you to see.
Before any battle, God feeds His people.
When Abraham returned from rescuing Lot, a mysterious figure appeared:
“Then Melchizedek… brought out bread and wine.”
Genesis 14:18
Only after Abraham was nourished did the king of Sodom arrive — a picture of the enemy.
The order matters.
God feeds before the fight.
Strengthens before the struggle.
Nourishes before the temptation.
This same pattern appears in Psalm 23:
“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.”
Psalm 23:5
Not after the battle.
Not when the coast is clear.
Right in the middle of tension and fear — God sets a table.
Because you were never meant to fight half-fed.
You were meant to fight full — full of His Word, full of His presence, full of His strength.
Every time you open Scripture, heaven is preparing you.
Every message you receive is a meal before a moment you haven’t faced yet.
The Father knows what tomorrow holds.
So He feeds you today.
God strengthens you in advance for battles you don’t even see yet.
