Verses 9-10 stood out to me this morning, 9 He who has an ear, let him hear. 10 If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity he will go. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword he will be killed. This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of the saints. The last part refers to our patience and faithfulness when it comes to God’s timing. Even today, when we feel alone, we need to wait on God for His perfect will and timing to deliver us. God is always with us.
