Psalms 119:84 How many are the days of thy servant? When wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
We are all ‘old’. We don’t even know how old we are. Our time may be up tomorrow, or even today.
Life has its share of troubles. We may wish for a little reprieve before dying. We may pray God for a time of peace before the end. We may even wish to see vengeance on those who hurt us without a cause. When John was taken to the dimension of the spirit, he was to be informed about the future of the world. He saw the souls of the Christian martyrs who in his own time had been killed for the name of God. Even they were impatient. They were demanding of the Lord for the judgment of those who caused them so much hurt and pain (Revelations 4:2; 6:9-11).
We may feel old, poured out; given out and abused. The virtues of brokenness may pour out freely from our shattered vessel but in all this let us remember this one thing. That though our Lord uses situations and people to afflict his people and bring them closer to Him, we can rest assured that every weight of trouble attributed to us is carefully measured; that not one ounce is added onto us unnecessarily. We also have the assurance of the visitation of those who dare to afflict God’s children.
Genesis 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee:
