It’s easy to get caught up in our changing times. Seeing evil gain power can be disheartening. Watching people lie to each other, speaking from deceitful hearts certainly can rob us of a positive outlook. But that’s when we lift our heads toward the Heavens and seek out God. His motives are pure and can be trusted. In times like these the faithful need to be just that, faithful. Trust God with your life, for His promises are as pure as silver and gold. We prosper in His promises.
1 Help, O Lord, for the godly are fast disappearing!The faithful have vanished from the earth!2 Neighbors lie to each other,speaking with flattering lips and deceitful hearts.3 May the Lord cut off their flattering lipsand silence their boastful tongues.4 They say, “We will lie to our hearts’ content.Our lips are our own–who can stop us?” 5 The Lord replies, “I have seen violence done to the helpless,and I have heard the groans of the poor.Now I will rise up to rescue them,as they have longed for Me to do.”6 The Lord’s promises are pure,like silver refined in a furnace,purified seven times over.7 Therefore, Lord, we know You will protect the oppressed,preserving them forever from this lying generation,8 even though the wicked strut about,and evil is praised throughout the land.
