Bitter Bargain
"The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and trust in Him. And all the upright in heart shall glory." (Psalms 64:10 NKJV) In the world's gladness market, bidders are faced with the frustrating challenge of gaining control over the volatile trend of gladness. Every trading for gladness must forcefully sow sorrow in the life of others. Unfortunately, there is no rest for the wicked who delight in injecting bitterness in the affairs of others, while in a fruitless search for personal gladness and fulfilment. But for the righteous, who are fortunate to avoid concious or unconcious induction into the bitter bargain system of the world, the Lord gives grace and glory in excahnge for every arrow of the wicked. David had tasted the reward system of the Lord, and he encourages the righteous to trust in the Lord. No one wins on the floor of bitter bargain; but everyone wins in the fellowship of righteous bargain.
