Psalm 12

For the director of music. According to Sheminith. A psalm of David.

 

Help, Lord, for no one is faithful anymore; those who are loyal have vanished from the human race.   Everyone lies to their neighbor; they flatter with their lips but harbor deception in their hearts.  May the Lord silence all flattering lips and every boastful tongue—those who say, “By our tongues, we will prevail; our own lips will defend us—who is lord over us?”   “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.”  And the words of the Lord are flawless, like silver purified in a crucible like gold refined seven times. 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.

 

As a nation, we have lost sight of two Whom we seek in times of trouble, and even many who go by the title of Christian are looking for a man to lead us out of this darkness of looking to a socialist government and a media that is part of the Democrat party.  I never would have been able to express my thoughts better than King David has done in Psalm 12 about our current President, whoever they are, and the media that is pushing an agenda of looking to the government, and not to our Lord.   Listen to David’s word to the LORD, and should this not be our prayer?  “By our tongues, we will prevail; our own lips will defend us—who is lord over us?”   Have no doubt they have an agenda, to remake our nations and it is not a good plan, it is a plan to remove all the markers that God has established to keep our eyes on Him and no one else.

 

I have the highest respect for the job President Trump did, he kept his promises, but I’m sure not looking to President Trump, nor any other man or woman to return us to a great nation.  Money is not the answer, that is the little god that many in both parties have put their faith in.

 

 I, like David, am praying this prayer to the Lord, 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.
