-  Psalm 12:5-7

      David in this Psalm has been lamenting about the human condition.  The godly are no more.  People lie, flatter, slander and oppress the weak.  David says the oppression of the week and needy are wrong to the Lord.  The Lord in vs 5, says He will arise.  Nothing is going to stop Him.  He is about to move in the affairs of man.  First, He promises to protect than that are being aligned and slandered.  No weapon forms against the child of God will prosper.  No wagging tongue ill succeed.

     David then states the words from the law are perfect or flawless.  They are like silver than has refined 7 times.  God when He speaks delivers flawless, perfect and truth words.  You can trust the promises of God.  1 Cor 1, states that the promises of God are yes and amen.  Then David states the Lord will keep us safe and will protect us from such people forever.  The angels of the Lord camp around them fear Him.  He will build a hedge of protection around you today.  You are never alone.  You have god’s promise of help and protection today.  No tongue, slander or attack will succeed.  The enemy may try to rob, kill you destroy you, but Jesus destroy his works.  God promises today to give you life and with abundance.  What a great thought to carry with you today.
