Psalm 12

Good morning “Remaining Faithfully Loyal.”  Today we are in Psalm 12.

David is struggling.  He’s fleeing from his enemies.  It seems everyone who is close to him is corrupt.  They live by and speak from their own lips and prove they have discounted The Word of God with their behavior.  Yesterday we saw the source of David’s strength was The Word of God.  It is The Truth, and will prevail over the words of men.

In their corruption men take advantage of the poor and needy.  We’re never without hope however;  God is on top of it as He is EVERYTHING.  

“Because the poor are plundered and the needy groan, I will now arise,” says the Lord. “I will protect them from those who malign them.” Psalms‬ ‭12‬:‭5‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“You, Lord, will keep the needy safe and will protect us forever from the wicked, who freely strut about when what is vile is honored by the human race.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭12‬:‭7‬-‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

The world seems to want to drown out The Truth of Gods Word and forget that we all are subject to it.  Take heart, although the words that come from men’s mouths seem valued over Gods Word… His Word is not going anywhere.

“And the words of the Lord are flawless, like silver purified in a crucible, like gold refined seven times.” Psalms‬ ‭12‬:‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬

All of humanity is subject to Him whether they acknowledge it or not.  They rise and fall by His hand alone while His flawless Word will never fall!  

“A voice says, “Cry out.” And I said, “What shall I cry?” “All people are like grass, and all their faithfulness is like the flowers of the field. The grass withers and the flowers fall, because the breath of the Lord blows on them. Surely the people are grass. The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.” Isaiah‬ ‭40‬:‭6‬-‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Live by His Word!  It’s our only standard!  Not men’s tantalizing ideas.  Love you all!  Dig in!
