Psalm 12 (TPT)

 Song For The New Day

"Help, Lord! Save us! For godly ones are swiftly disappearing.

Where are the dependable, principled ones?

They're a vanishing breed!

Everyone lies, everyone flatters, and everyone deceives.

Nothing but empty talk, smooth talk, and double-talk.

Where are the truthful?

"I know the Lord will not deal gently with people like that!

You will destroy every proud liar who says, "We lie all we want.

Our words are our weapons, and we won't be held accountable.

Who can stop us?"

May the Lord cut off their twisted tongues and seal their lying lips.

May they all be silenced--those who boast and brag with their 

high-minded talk doing whatever they want.

"But the Lord says, "Now I will arise! 

I will defend the poor, those who were plundered, oppressed, 

and the needy who groan for help.

I will arise to rescue and protect them!"

"For every word God speaks is sure and every promise pure.

His truth is tested, found to be flawless, and ever faithful.

It's as pure as silver refined seven times in a crucible of clay.

Lord, you will keep us forever safe, out of the reach of the wicked.

Even though they strut and prowl, tolerating and celebrating

what is worthless and vile, you will still lift up those who are yours!"

Dear Reader, in times such as these here in the United States, we must be steadfast and sure in our knowledge of God's love. The wicked will not win, Jesus already has. Let not your heart be troubled, keep it fixed on Jesus, for the peace you need is found in Him. Don't camp in the news of the world, the wicked are sure that their rules will prevail, but they forget Who can change any outcome in the blink of an eye. The wicked will soon be gone, and there will be freedom and joy throughout this great land. Keep praying, keep hoping, and keep believing! 

"If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31 NKJV)
