1 In my distress I called to the Lord,
and he answered me.
2 Deliver me, O Lord,
from lying lips,
from a deceitful tongue.
3 What shall be given to you,
and what more shall be done to you,
you deceitful tongue?
4 A warrior’s sharp arrows,
with glowing coals of the broom tree!
5 Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech,
that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
6 Too long have I had my dwelling
among those who hate peace.
7 I am for peace,
but when I speak, they are for war!
Call upon the Lord in every time of trouble pray praise and give thanks to him for all that he has done. It is the Lord God who hears your prayers and answers when you call. It is the Lord who rescues his people from the pit. It is God our Savior who redeems our souls from the pit. It is the Lord God who gives us peace.
Most people in the world today like to think about peace and maybe even talk about making peace of some kind. People will talk about making peace with friends or family when you have a dispute. People will even talk about having peace in a community struggling with various issues. Most of the time they really want to talk about tolerance or acceptance. But neither side really wants to give up anything.
We all desire our nice house and fancy toys. We want to be able to have things our own way. We want to indulge our personal passions and pleasures. But the problem is these do not bring peace. God is the only one who truly brings peace. When we focus on material things and possessions we will fight to death. But when it comes to God, he is the one who can truly make peace.
Jesus Christ has brought peace for all Christians throughout the world. God has brought peace to those who believe in him. We are surrounded by people who only cry out war against each other and against God. But Christ has offered us true peace through his Son Jesus Christ. God has listened to our cries for mercy and truly rescues us from the midst of those continue to make war.
