THEY MADE MOCKERY OF ME Sunday August 30, 2015
Text: Psalm 22:7, 8 Memory verse: v 7, 8
On
Thursday, we saw how the Psalmist complained bitterly. Here we have more of his
compliant about mockery. This Psalm alludes to Christ and all He suffered in
the hands of Jewish leaders and Roman soldiers. The conduct of the Jews towards
our Lord, when He hung upon the cross was here prophesied. But our scriptural
reading is also true of the insults which David suffered from Shimei and others
during the rebellion of Absalom. Whichever it may be, there is obvious fact
that the righteous is always mocked by unbelievers.
A
man asked for a lady’s hand in marriage but the lady chose to obey God. She had
delayed conception and when the man saw her, he made mockery of her that
nothing has happened after 10 years of marriage. But today, the lady is a proud
mother of twins. This is God! Are people making mockery of your present
situations and predicaments? Never mind them. Your God will arise for your sake
in Jesus name. We look forward to your testimony.
Food for Thought: Mockery can challenge us into action (1 Samuel 1:1 –
11).
Prayer: By your
mercies O Lord, turn every mockery against me to blessing
