Psalm 120

Psalm 120
I call on the Lord in my distress,
    and he answers me.
Save me, Lord,
    from lying lips
    and from deceitful tongues.
What will he do to you,
    and what more besides,
    you deceitful tongue?
He will punish you with a warrior’s sharp arrows,
    with burning coals of the broom bush.
Woe to me that I dwell in Meshek,
    that I live among the tents of Kedar!
Too long have I lived
    among those who hate peace.
I am for peace;

    but when I speak, they are for war.

Let us always be peaceful. Let us always stand for peace. Let us us always share His love.

Let us give peace to others.

In a world of hate and hurt, we are called to be His light. We are called to be more. We are called according to His grand purpose. We are called to live in love.

Although we are surrounded by those who seek to hurt us, or those who seek to insult us, we called to live out a life of love. We are called to live in Light because He is our light and salvation.

He is our dwelling place. He is our peace.

Therefore, as His chosen people, as His redeemed children, let us share His peace and love with this broken world. Let us live in light amidst the darkness; let us be still in our distress and share His peace.

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 1 Peter 2:9
