Psalm 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.
Sounds like the realm of politics in America these days, doesn't it? Many are untruthful at the very least while others are blatantly deceitful! What can be done by righteous people in the midst of such unrighteousness? PRAYER! Look at verses 3-4:
3 May the Lord cut off all flattering lips and the tongues that speak proud boasting, 4 Those who say, With our tongues we prevail; our lips are our own [to command at our will]--who is lord and master over us?
We can and must call on the God of the Bible Who has said this in Romans 12:19:
19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave the way open for [God's] wrath; for it is written, Vengeance is Mine, I will repay (requite), says the Lord. AMP
Cast the care of it all on Him and fully expect that HE will deliver! Verses 5-7 reveal that He will:
5 Now will I arise, says the Lord, because the poor are oppressed, because of the groans of the needy; I will set him in safety and in the salvation for which he pants. 6 The words and promises of the Lord are pure words, like silver refined in an earthen furnace, purified seven times over. 7 You will keep them and preserve them, O Lord; You will guard and keep us from this [evil] generation forever.
Count on it! Amen! Now let's be about our Father's business while HE takes care of OURS! Here is Hillsong with "Running":
Shalom in Him!
