Psalm 12  " Help Lord..."   David prays and we echo his cry.
".. for the godly man ceases to be..."   A truth in our time as well.
".. for the faithful disappear.."    
"They speak falsehood to one another." 
"With flattering lips and with a double heart they speak." 

Like David, we can entreat the Lord to "cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaks great things; who have said, 'With our tongue we will prevail; our lips are our own; who is lord over us?'"

And the Lord's response is , " Now  I will arise, says the Lord; I will set him ( the afflicted) in the safety for which he longs;" 

The Lord's Words are pure, refined, and preserved.  He will cut off the wicked and raise up the humble.  He will overcome for us.  He will be our refuge and our strength .

Those who think they can ignore God will find out that He is the Sovereign ruler of heaven and earth.

Thank You Father, that You are Lord of all.  That You are righteous and just.  You are kind and merciful.  Help us Lord, in this land where You have caused us to dwell.  Cut off the boastful and deceitful man or woman that they may cease their lies and flattery.  May they humble themselves and repent.  May they seek You and find You. May they bow before You, for You alone are worthy of praise and worship.  In the Name of Jesus our Lord we pray. Amen.
