Today's Meditation - Psalms
Psalm 120:1-7
The cry of this psalm appears to be that from a believer who finds himself in the dwellings of the non-believers. He is confronted daily with lying lips and deceitful tongues, and those who call for war and not peace. You may find yourself at times in such situations and difficult circumstances. God does not forsake you in those times, but is rather your deliverance and your comfort. Our trust and our confidence is in the Lord. The psalmist cries out “Deliver my soul, O LORD,” and he is definitely calling on the Person Who can and will do it!
Verse for Meditation: Verse 1 – “In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and He heard me.”
