He was now nearing retirement…clouds on his eyes, knees aching from the ravage of age…yet he had remembered his creator in the days of his youth.
Friends looked down at him, even those in low position esteem him low…they had misinterpreted his kindness and humbleness as a sign of weakness. Almost everybody though he was “yellow”.
But he knows better for he knows the Truth (John 8:31 & John 17:17)! He had the best teachers-from St. Paul, to Peter..from King David to King Solomon…from Noah to Abraham to Moses…in fact Jesus was his constant & continuing TEACHER (Matthew 23:8) he had keep & knew the Word of His Master well!
I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.Psalm 119:99; thus he had often quoted in his mind everytime he was assailed with self pity by the constant mocking & bullying he experienced as a sheep among the wolves. He was called odd, abnormal..almost all deriding remarks…even his character had been constantly assassinated…he knew why they hated him (Matthew 5:11)…so have keep his cool…although there were times when he had contemplated in letting them eat bullets but his Master had intervened on those ocassions (Psalm 33:18), and he had thank Him for those!
And deep in his heart he had resolve to overcome this all to get his reward when the KINGDOM come and the WILL be done throughout all the earth…so he keep his patience, gritting his teeth…looking unto his rewards. Praying and Shining and Dancing among the Wolves…the Beasts…”
