Read Psalm 120

I took my troubles to the Lord;
    I cried out to him, and he answered my prayer.
Rescue me, O Lord, from liars
    and from all deceitful people.
O deceptive tongue, what will God do to you?
    How will he increase your punishment?
You will be pierced with sharp arrows
    and burned with glowing coals.

How I suffer in far-off Meshech.
    It pains me to live in distant Kedar.
I am tired of living
    among people who hate peace.

I search for peace;
    but when I speak of peace, they want war!

 

O Lord, I find it so hard to distinguish between truth and lies (or just fact and fiction – especially on social media). Please grant me discernment when to comes to stories that appear in my inbox, or I hear on the grapevine.  AMEN
