The Holy Spirit has been speaking to me about Psalm 12. This scripture has three powerful themes.
The signs of slipping away from Jesus!
The godly man ceases in his relationship with God.
He discredits faith, speaks with idle and flattering words and a deceitful heart.
The request to God from David is to cut off all flattering lips and prideful words.
Another sign is the man who speaks whatever he desires and believes his words belong to him and God has no control over what he speaks.
God’s desire to help His people!
God shows where His heart is by responding to the oppression of the poor and the cries of the needy.
God says He will arise and set these people in the safety for which they are seeking from God.
The precious and irrevocable words of God!
The words of God are pure and like silver refined in a roaring fire and purified seven times.
God keeps His words and will preserve them forever.
We live in a world inhabited by the wicked and vileness is present everywhere.
The Christ follower walks by faith and lives under the authority of the Holy Spirit. He is filled with the fruit of the Spirit.
Check yourself out with the standards of Jesus:
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control.
