It Looks Bad

READ: Psalm 12

I will set him in the safety for which he yearns. —Psalm 12:5

King David looked out at the world and was troubled. He didn’t need the Internet to paint a bleak picture of society or The New York Times to remind him of crime and suffering. Even without a cable news show to give him all the bad news, he saw the evil.

He looked around and saw that “the godly man ceases.” He noticed that “the faithful disappear.” In his world, everyone spoke “idly” to his neighbor “with flattering lips and a double heart” (Ps. 12:1-2).

This description may sound like the theme of a TV show, but it was life, circa 1,000 BC. While we may view society’s evils as much worse than anything before, David reminds us that evil is not a 21st-century innovation.

But David’s words also give us hope. Notice his reaction to the bad news he bore. In verse 1, he turned to God and cried, “Help!” Then he implored God with specific needs. The response he got was positive. God promised that because He rules righteously, He would provide protection and safety (vv.5-7).

When you are discouraged by all the bad news, cry out for God’s help. Then bask in the confidence of His assurance. Three thousand years after David, God is still, and always will be, in control.

When through life’s darkened maze I go
And troubles overwhelm my soul,
Oh, grant me, Lord, the faith to know
That You are always in control.  —D. De Haan

We have nothing to fear, because God is in control.

Bible in One Year:  Psalms 12–14

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION

The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are, God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

BLESS THIS HOUSE

 Bless this house O Lord we pray; Make it safe by night and day; 
Bless these walls so firm and stout, Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall, Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove ever open to joy and love.
Bless these windows shining bright, Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there, with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within, keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we May dwell O Lord with thee.

Thank you O LORD for the blessings that you have bestowed upon me,
The Blessings of the wife that YOU have sent to me & the kids that YOU have blessed me with
For the roof over our heads, and the critters that YOU have sent to live with us,
For the Blessings of my health & life

And for the challenges that YOU have placed in front of me to try to teach me something [even though I have to repeat the leassons sometimes for I am so very hard headed and need reminding who is really in charge of the universe] and that I am only a small part of YOUR grand scheme of things.

Use me as YOU see fit to as a mechanic uses a wrench to fix equipment that has gone out of tune, with YOUR grand scheme of things.

This I pray in the name of YOUR Son JESUS,[the CHRIST] who came to Earth as a mere mortal, but became so much more,

For HE shed HIS Lifes blood & Life on the cross to forgive everyone’s sins, including mine.

Amen
