Leave the Case in the Lord’s Hands
I will rescue my flock; they shall no longer be a prey. And I will judge between sheep and sheep (Ezek 34:22).
Some cattle fat and flourishing, and therefore they are unkind to the feeble. This is a grievous sin and causes much sorrow. Those thrustings with side and with shoulder, those pushings of the diseased with the horn, are a sad means of offense in the assemblies of professing believers.
The Lord takes note of these proud and unkind deeds!
And He is greatly angered by them, for He loves the weak!!
Is the reader one of the despised? Is he a mourner and a marked person because of his tender troubled conscience? Do his brethren judge him harshly?
Let him not resent their conduct; Above all let him not push and rush in return.
Leave the case in the Lord’s hands!
For the LORD is our judge; the LORD is our lawgiver; the LORD is our king; he will save us (Isa 33:22).
Why should we wish to intrude upon His office?
He will decide much more wisely and righteously than we can. His time for judgment is the best. And we need not be in a hurry to hasten it on. Let the hard-hearted oppressor tremble.
Even though he may ride roughshod over others with impunity for the present, all his proud speeches are noted, and for every one of them account must be given before the bar of the great Judge.
Be Patient!
The Lord knows your case and grief!
Your Jesus has pity upon you and He has the power and authority to deliver you!
The LORD will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.” (Exod 14:14)
