March 19
Introduction
Today’s reading is the prayer of an individual who seeks God’s protection from those who inflict harm by means of cruel words. The writer trusts in God, and the psalm concludes with a call to praise God.
Scripture Reading
Psalm 64
Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 64:10
All righteous people will rejoice because of what the LORD has done. They will find safety in him; all good people will praise him.
Reflect
How does the psalm writer describe those who speak cruel words? How is God’s retaliation described? Proverbs 15:4 says, “Kind words bring life, but cruel words crush your spirit.” Have you ever been hurt by someone’s words? If so, how did you react? Are kind words able to diffuse a situation that is wrought with anger?
Pray
Almighty God, you are my protector and place of safety. Whenever I may become involved in an exchange of hurtful words, teach me to forgive and to seek your forgiveness and that of those I hurt. May my words this day reflect your love and grace. Amen
Tomorrow’s Reading
Psalm 77: A prayer of one in distress.
