”You, Lord, will guard us; you will protect us from this generation forever. The wicked prowl all around, and what is worthless is exalted by the human race.“
Psalms 12:7-8 CSB
This Psalm is talking about how all the people are holding down the believer. Then winds up with this confident statement of Gods faithfulness to care for them. The last line is very interesting, “what is worthless is exalted by the human race.“. This feels so real today…this happens everywhere I look, by everyone.
We no longer have to seek out sin…it finds us when we are least expecting it. When I was younger, some sins required planning and sneaking and knowing the right person to help you out…now it seems like you don’t have to sneak or plan or cajole and sin finds you. Our efforts no longer are invested in finding ways to sin, but much energy must be used to avoid it!
Lord, strengthen me to actively follow You. Give me the ability to choose right when sin is thrust in my path. You tell us that You will guard and protect us from this generation, and that is what we need! We need You Lord!!!
