But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over.
Our passage goes hand in hand with verse twenty-two,
Isaiah 51:22 (KJV)
Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God thatpleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling, eventhe dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again:
Everything has a season. The season today is for the followers of the Lord to bear the cup of affliction. It’s our turn today to serve the Lord in a dark and sinful place. Affliction simply accompanies this service. We are ambassadors seeking to reconcile those souls at enmity to God. It is impossible, but in this work, we often suffer the anger they have against our God.
Verse twenty-three tells us that the cup of affliction will change hands one day. Our duty before the Lord will be fulfilled. The Lord will take the cup of affliction and place it into the hand of the enemies of God
I am so glad to be a part of the first cup rather than the next.
