“Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.” Psalm 35:19
It is hard to find anything that causes more pain than the pain of someone unjustifiably rejoicing over you, especially when the situation you are in is for a good cause. The heart grows faint, your spirit falls into a state you don’t want to be in and unless you give it to GOD you will remain defeated. “Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me:”
While tools of destruction can kill the body, the satisfied look of the opposition can kill the spirit. It is as if your bitter circumstance brings them joy, a gleeful joy that tears at the soul. “neither let them wink with the eye”
In David’s case he was trying to do good to those that opposed him and when he hit a pitfall or was slandered, they took great pleasure in it. Don’t be surprised when it happens to you, because it will. Remember it was the very ones David loved and cared for that were the culprits. This is why it cuts so deep to the soul. “that hate me without a cause.”
My heart feels faint, I was in pain.
Their rejoicing hurt me so.
But listen, my dear friend.
JESUS is the only place to go.
He’ll take the pain and wipe it away.
He’ll grant you grace and peace.
He’ll remove the tear from your cheek,
And all your pain will cease.
“But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy.” 2 Chronicles 36:16
