I accepted Jesus as my personal absolute Lord and Savior four decades ago. Shall I say it has been forty days and forty nights? I accepted the covenant of the blood and flesh of the Lord Jesus, (1 Corinthians 11:23-26) as the author, the Sons of Korah accepted the covenant of Moses in their youth. (Exodus 19-24)
The Sons of Korah state since then they had not forgotten the Lord or been false to the covenant the Lord made with Israel at Mount Sinai. (17) Their hearts had not turned back to Egypt. (18) They had not strayed from the path marked out for them in the covenant. (18) They are stating that they have not sinned since their adoption as sons of the Living God.
Yet, now they are crushed under despair. (19) They are forced by the enemy to dwell day and night in a desolate place where one can imagine jackals, wolves, and large beasts such as dragons linger in caves and crevices. In lowly earth cavities death-shades bring chilling bone pain and skin chaps. The flesh sun warmed is forgotten. The desolation devastating is at the Lord’s hand. (19, also 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
Is this true? Does the loving Lord let happen or even orchestrate the life of those who walk the covenant life in such a manner? What does this mean, “Yet for your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered?” (22) This will be considered in the next BDBD.
