* Luís Alberto Alves
When we read Psalm 23 we do not pay attention to the verse that speaks of the anointing with oil on our head. Of course, many Christians today look like parrots, they just repeat what you hear, without paying attention to details, where there is a lot of information.
David, in writing this famous Psalm, recalls an ancient custom in the East, that when a persecuted man would take shelter in a tent or palace of a monarch, he would escape the danger, for his head would be anointed with oil and there he would dwell.
How many of us, before we met Jesus Christ, were not persecuted by Satan and his demons? Most. But on a certain day we resolved to seek shelter from the Lord and He welcomed us and anointed our head with His sacred presence.
After this day, the evil one tries to kill us, but he can not succeed. Because the King of kings has put us safe in his kingdom and there evil can not enter. The devil can roar like a lion around us, but he will be far from our ways.
