“You, Lord, will guard us; You will protect us from this generation forever. The wicked wander everywhere, and what is worthless is exalted by the human race.” (Psalm 12:7-8 CSB).
Isn’t it wonderful to know that though “The wicked wander everywhere, and what is worthless is exalted by the human race,” God promises to guard and protect His children?
If we are not careful, as we look around the fallen world scene we could become easily discouraged. Politicians talk out of both sides of their mouths one recently declaring that he believed life began at conception but then turning right around and supporting the cold-blooded murder of that life through abortion from conception right up through partial-birth abortions which at least for the present stand banned. Truly “what is worthless is exalted by the human race.”
As God’s people we are called upon to make a stand. We must stand fearlessly on the side of truth and righteousness. In a world that wanders in wanton wickedness such a stand will not be popular, but then again, we were never called to be popular we were called to be faithful! Let us call on the Lord for strength and insight and stand faithful to Him knowing that even though our stance may bring misunderstanding and abuse from those who wander about in wickedness, ultimately God is the One we answer to and ultimately He will be the final judge. I would rather stand alone with Him than link arms with those who are perishing.
