Comfort from the Word – Day 35

Temptation

Bible text(s)

3LORD, place a guard at my mouth,

a sentry at the door of my lips.

4Keep me from wanting to do wrong

and from joining evil people in their wickedness.

May I never take part in their feasts.

5Good people may punish me and rebuke me in kindness,

but I will never accept honour from evil people,

because I am always praying against their evil deeds.

Psalms 141:3-5GNBOpen in Bible reader

8But I keep trusting in you, my Sovereign LORD.

I seek your protection;

don't let me die!
