And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) 2 Peter 2:7-8
feeling vexed, hopeless, bothered
constantly hearing what sickens the heart
hope deferred
awaiting patiently
listening for direction
keeping the commandments
seeking His strength in times of trouble
joining in His sorrow for the evil in the world
praying, lifting Jesus up
finding refreshing to be able to go on
drinking the living water
eating the bread of life
filling our hearts with His presence amongst the circumstances
And the Lord said unto him,
Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem,
and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations
that be done in the midst thereof. Ezekiel 9:4
hating the world and the things thereof
holding fast to what is true
saving those you can before it is too late
warning
loving
keeping in line with Jesus and His ways
representing Him in the face of opposition
in the face of cruelty
in the face of pure evil
letting your light shine
let the light within you reflect Jesus
do not hide it
do not let it go out
it will be bright and some will hate that light
shine on
Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it,
and a book of remembrance was written before Him for them that feared the Lord,
and that thought upon His name.
And they shall be Mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up My jewels;
and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth Him.
Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked,
between him that serveth God and him that serveth Him not. Malachi 3:8-10
Such a beautiful scripture that bears repeating. We can bask in His love.
And they shall be Mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up My jewels;
and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth Him. Malachi 3:9
