Rep Power: 3 jeremiah7 is on a distinguished road
Default Blessing for May 4th 2008

"You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance." (Psalm 66:12)

When people ride over our heads because we have decided to live for the Lord, it is so humiliating and painful. We know that we have done no wrong, yet when we are subject to abuse, it is so distressing and depressing. We may just feel like hiding in some place where no one can see us. Some cry their hearts out.

What good can such a situation bring in our lives?
The Bible says, " If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you." (1 Peter 4:14)

There are some who when they have lived according to worldly ways, no one had any complaints against them, but when they find Christ and start living for Him, almost all turn against them. But the Lord is just. He won't allow the suffering to continue forever. The Bible says,

And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. (1 Peter 5:10)
