Theological / Devotional

I shall not die. The psalmist expresses his assurance that at this time he would not die and thus give cause for his enemies to rejoice. When gloom and darkness have encircled the saints of God and they have despaired of life, this text has brought comfort to their discouraged hearts. These words were spoken by the great English Reformer, John Wycliffe, who, from his bed of illness, announced that he would live to declare the evil deeds of the friars.
