3 The plowers plowed on my back;
they made their furrows long.
4 The Lord is righteous;
he has cut the cords of the wicked.
Prayer Focus: I find this to be a difficult image to imagine. The people of God are lying in a field. Enemies hitch up their oxen to a plow and begin to plow back and forth across the people’s backs. The pain, the blood, and more are all there. But suddenly it stops. The Lord cuts the cords of the oxen. They can no longer pull the plow. In the same way the Lord is righteous and comes to our aid in times of trouble. Pray for those who feel as if they are being plowed today. Pray that the Lord will cut the cords and set them free.
“The plows of persecution aren’t working, and the oxherds haven’t even noticed! They plod back and forth, unaware that their opposition is worthless. They are wasting their time and energy.” Peterson, 122.
