Psalm 12
A Bible Devotion from Psalm 12
Help Lord, for the godly man ceases!
Have you noticed that common thread that has been running through many of these Psalms. The wicked are overpowering us--the faithful disappear from among the sons of men.
This Psalm is a call to God's people to turn from the flattering lips, the proud tongue, and the oppression of the poor around us. God's response to this wickedness is, Now I will arise, I will set Him in the safety for which he yearns.Psalm 12:5
Let us, instead, look to the Lord because we know and believer that, The words of the Lord are pure words, like silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. You shall keep them, O Lord, You shall preserve them from this generation forever. Psalm 5:6-7
That is reality. Our world lives in a world that only exists in their mind; they do not see the reality of a world created and ruled by God. Consequently they do not understand their true end. But we do! Pray that God will help you today to see the true world around you. Pray also that God will help you to learn how to be "of the world, but not in the world." Thirdly, pray for those around you, especially the non-Christians. Pray that their eyes that have been blinded by sin will be opened.
