Psalm 120:1 I call on the LORD in my distress, and He answers me.
The truth of verse one takes my breath away. Whenever I call on the Lord, He hears me, He answers me, He is there for me. He does this, not because I am somehow worthy (I’m not), but because I am His beloved child.
Psalm 120:2 Save me, LORD, from lying lips and from deceitful tongues.
He doesn’t come in waiving a magic wand that makes everything better. He draws me closer and reminds me that His strength is perfected in my weakness, that I am His deeply, fiercely loved child, that He has already won the war, regardless of the current raging battle, that all I need is to cling to Him. Thank You, Jesus.
Psalm 120:3 What will He do to you, and what more besides, you deceitful tongue?
Lord, Thank You for this day and this scripture. Thank You for the reminder that You are my core, my center, my refuge and strength. Thank You for hearing me when I cry to You for help and for answering me with Your unending love. Draw me closer. Amen.
Psalm 120:7 I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war.
Have a blessed day.
