Those Who Afflict You!

“Lord it is a new and good day!” “Yes my daughter!” “It is full of adventure and life,” I continue. “I pray for the peace of Jerusalem! Will you guide me today and help me to not look back, to be patient and steady and walk straight into acts of obedience swiftly?” “Yes, daughter you got it! Let us work together in the garden, it will be a lovely and fruitful day!” “Amen Lord, thank you!” He smiles and we get to work.

Isaiah 50:21-23 Therefore please hear this, you afflicted, And drunk but not with wine. Thus says your Lord, The Lord and your God, Who pleads the cause of His people: “See, I have taken out of your hand The cup of trembling, The dregs of the cup of My fury; You shall no longer drink it. But I will put it into the hand of those who afflict you, Who have said to you, ‘Lie down, that we may walk over you.” And you have laid your body like the ground, And as the street, for those who walk over.”
