Psalm 141

David talks about something in this passage that is hard for a lot of people to accept. There is value in loving correction from righteous people. We do not like being told what we are doing is wrong. We also do not typically like being the one telling someone that they are not doing what is right. Yet, David sees that as an act of faithful love. This comes to us in two points to consider today. Are we willing to be humble and let others give us good advice and counsel? Are we willing to not get defensive, but rather open ourselves for correction as needed? This becomes a test of discernment- not all advice is good, and not all correction is correct. So, can we be sure we have people in our lives that are following Jesus and have permission to speak up when they see something off in our lives? Can we also be the types of friends that are willing to say uncomfortable, tough things for the sake of our friends not getting distracted or going off the right path.
