Read: Psalm 123
Our soul is exceedingly filled with . . . the contempt of the proud. —Psalm
123:4
Bible in a year:
Psalms 20-22; Acts 21:1-17
The psalmist was fed up with “the contempt of the proud” (Ps. 123:4).
Perhaps you are too. People in your neighborhood, office, or classroom may
be scornful of your faith and determination to follow Jesus. Sticks and
stones do break our bones, but words can wound more deeply. In his
commentary on this psalm, Derek Kidner refers to contempt as “cold steel.”
We can fend off the jeers of the proud by becoming like them, or we can view
their attempt to humiliate us as a badge of honor. We can rejoice that we’
ve been “counted worthy to suffer shame for [Jesus’] name” (Acts 5:41).
Better to bear shame for a short time than to endure “everlasting contempt
” (Dan. 12:2).
We must not be like the mockers by mocking them in turn, but bless those who
persecute us. “Bless and do not curse,” Paul reminds us (Rom. 12:14).
Then God may draw them to faith and repentance, and turn our moments of
shame into eternal glory.
Finally, as the psalmist counsels us, we must “look to the Lord our God” (
123:2). He understands as no other, for He too has endured reproach. He will
show compassion to us according to His infinite mercy.
When persecution comes your way
And people mock your Lord,
Remember what’s in store for those
Who love and trust His Word. —Sper
When others’ treatment of you gets you down, look up to Jesus. | w*******e

他因那摆在前头的喜乐，就轻看羞辱，忍受了十字架的苦难，便坐在神宝座的右边。
那忍受罪人这样顶撞的，你们要思想，免得疲倦灰心。
--Heb 12：2-3
Psalm
