Shalom,


Psalms 12:1-2:


1 HELP, LORD! For principled and godly people are here no more; faithfulness and the faithful vanish from among the sons of men. 2 To his neighbor each one speaks words without use or worth or truth; with flattering lips and double heart [deceitfully] they speak.


The Message Bible says this:


1 Help, Adonai! For no one godly is left; the faithful have vanished from humankind. 2 They all tell lies to each other, flattering with their lips, but speaking from divided hearts.


It sometimes seems like this right now in our world, doesn't it? If we don't watch ourselves, we can become discouraged by paying MORE attention to the world than we do to God's Word! Verse 6 says this:


6 The words and promises of the LORD are pure words, like silver refined in an earthen furnace, purified seven times over.


There is the ANSWER! We must spend more time in the Word of God this year than at any previous time! Hiding the Word in our hearts keeps us from sin (Psalm 119:11). Hearing the Word over and over again brings faith (Romans 10:17). Meditating on and obeying the Word brings success (Joshua 1:8). make the Word of God your EVERY DAY priority! Amen! Here is Hillsong with "Every Day"!

Shalom in Him!
