“Deliver me, Oh my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.” (Psalm 71:4)
The true followers of Jehovah God have always had their opposition. Jesus tells us in John’s Gospel that the time would come that whoever kills the Lord’s followers would think he is doing God a service or a favor. Paul tells us that whoever lives Godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
There have been wicked and unrighteous men whom the Lord changed as in the case of Saul of Tarsus, persecutor of Christians. On the Road to Damascus he was on a mission to persecute Christians. The Lord saved him and changed him. The Bible says, “Then had the churches rest throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified…” (Acts 9:31) God delivered the saints out of the hand of that wicked persecutor and He has done it at other times. He delivered Shadrach, Meshack and Abednego from Nebuchadnezzar’s furnace and Daniel from the Lions.
Are you facing opposition because of your walk with the Lord and your Biblical stance? Don’t give up. Pray the prayer of the psalmist in our text and trust the Lord.
