2Ti 3:12 Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,
Psa 44:17 All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten you, and we have not been false to your covenant.
Psa 44:18 Our heart has not turned back, nor have our steps departed from your way;
Psa 44:19 yet you have broken us in the place of jackals and covered us with the shadow of death.
Psa 44:20 If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god,
Psa 44:21 would not God discover this? For he knows the secrets of the heart.
Psa 44:22 Yet for your sake we are killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.
Psa 4:3 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.
When the evil ones are in power, persecution of God's people will follow. The Psalmist cries out to God who is all powerful. Sometimes he allows afflictions as a way to discipline and strengthen his people. Those who are strong in him will not turn away from him. The apostle Paul repeats this message when affliction came to the Christians.
Rom 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?
Rom 8:36 As it is written, “For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”
Rom 8:37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
Rom 8:38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,
Rom 8:39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Trust in the name of Jesus, the Son of God the Father who has overcome death and has given to us the hope of everlasting life. God loves us through his Son.
