This reading reminded me of the mission of church, Loving God and Loving others. It talks about suffering for doing good and then living for God. It sounds like we should always do things for the glory of God. Keeping in mind that Jesus died for us, and we should love others as he loves us.
As I was reading this psalm, I was thinking this should be a prayer right now for myself and Nathan. I feel like we are going thru some stuff, and I hate that he is being tempted by others. It's very frustrating. The beginning of the psalm feels like a prayer and then the end seems like the writer is asking for bad things to happen to people, which is contradictory to the chapter reading saying we should pray and bless those that do us evil. Maybe that is how I need to deal with this current issue. Pray for those leading him astray. What a realization. I am shaking my head right now wishing I didn't need to do that.

We should be living and loving like Jesus.
It sounds like this was meant for you today. I know you wish you didn't need to do that, but just remember that these are growth moments and the only way that we can truly grow is to learn to make those choices. Just continue to pray that he makes the right ones and also pray for those that are tempting him.
