It's all about faith. Do you believe that your God is watching over you, protecting you, loving you, blessing you? Our God is like the wind... we don't see Him but we feel Him. His presence is manifested through events, through our brothers and sisters, through the Living Word. When we trust that God is working, then our eyes will be open to His glory and wonders.
We enter the Lord's household as righteous children. Only the redeemed will get to walk on the highway known as the Way of Holiness to paradise. We're redeemed because of Jesus and His sacrifice on the cross... He bought us for God using His blood, and now we are cleansed as white as snow. As verse 10 says, gladness and joy should be overtaking us, there should be no sorrow and sighing as we're given the golden ticket to be with the Lord in Heaven.
There will always be people who persecute your faith and you, just like the story of Sennacherib king of Assyria and Hezekiah king of Jerusalem. They'll speak cruel words and tell false lies to break you down. Stand strong in the Lord as He will deliver you from these people who are cruel and wicked. Believe in the Lord and the Gospel in your heart and He will use that to your advantage.
The reminder: Trust that God is there, even though it doesn't seem like it. Stand strong even among persecution. God is there and He will fix it.
