Psalms: Truth and Treasures 17

This is a time of frustration as we continue to be under the restrictions that limit social gatherings. I do not envy the position that our state and national leaders find themselves in. More than ever, let us pray for them as God has directed us to do. The Epistle of James exhorts us as Christians to be swift to hear and slow to speak. In our reading today from Psalm 116, we learn that when we are frustrated, anxious or under stress, we can speak in haste as our emotions move us. The Psalmist realized in verse 11 that in a moment of stress and frustration, he had declared that all men were liars.
In our quiet time today let us pray for patience and for our leaders that they would seek wisdom from God .
