It’s Going To Happen

“With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.” Psalm 35:16

Here is a picture of the actions of the enemies of David.  A picture that unfortunately describes all the enemies of the children of GOD.  They are like a group of barbarians in a drunken feast.  There is no control in what they say and do.  They yell out false accusations while their half chewed food falls from their mouths. “With hypocritical mockers in feasts”

The words they speak are like the teeth of a lion gnashing upon him.  They are like rabid dogs foaming at the mouth, out of control, and out of touch with any reality at all.  They are on a mission of hate, with your destruction as their goal. “they gnashed upon me with their teeth.”

Now lets apply this to our day and to those of us that are believers.  What David was up against will be the same for us.  Don’t act surprised when you are criticized and ridiculed.  Don’t be shocked when those you love turn against you.  As sure as you are taking your next breath, it will happen. JESUS told you it would.  Let us not get into a pity party. The only way it should get us down, is down on our knees in prayer and thanksgiving the LORD has counted us worthy. What we experience in nothing compared to what our wonderful SAVIOR has already done for us!

They were like  scorpions with brutal bites.

Their words were piercing to my soul.

Filled with hate and condemnation.

My destruction, their only goal.

But what they do it can not hurt me.

For unto my LORD they did the same.

He overcame and He has risen.

I place my trust in His dear name.

“And the gospel must first be published among all nations. But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” Mark 13:10-13
