PSALM 12:6-7 WORDS: Kept Words

Hello lovers of God Speak...are ya listening?

"The WORDS of the Lord are pure words; as silver tried in a furnace on the earth refined seven times."

When it looks like the godly man cease to be...when it looks like the faithful disappear from among the sons of men...and the evil ones speak falsehood to one another...with lips that flatter and speaking from a double heart...what are you gonna do? Well...the Psalmist continues his modus operandi by (1) stating the problem (2) declaring the answer to the problem.

The people who the Psalmist has a prayer in relation to their mouths.

1. May the Lord cut off all flattering lips
2. May the Lord cut off the tongue that speaks great things

These people (wicked) with flattering lips and a tongue that speaks great things are saying and doing things. (Psalm 12:2-4)

1. With our TONGUE we will prevail (vs. 4)
2. Our LIPS are our own. (vs. 4)
3. Who is LORD over us. (vs. 4)
4. Strut about on every side (vs. 8)
5. Vileness is exalted among the sons of men (vs. 8)

Of course the MOUTH (tongue/lips) is only the reveler of what is in the heart. So if you want to know someones thoughts and heart...listen to what is coming out of their mouth...especially in times of trials and triumph.

God SPEAKS his THOUGHTS also. "Because of the devastation of the afflicted, because of the groaning of the needy...NOW I WILL ARISE, says the Lord; I WILL SET HIM IN SAFETY for which he longs." (Psalm 12:5)

Have you ever been waiting for news to arrive? Maybe a court verdict, or a physicians words after someones surgery...oh how we anticipate and await some GOOD WORDS.

THE WORDS OF THE LORD ARE:

1. pure words
2. tried/perfect words
3. like silver tried and refined seven times.

The Psalmist underscores that the godly man among the faithful will not disappear from among the sons of men...because..."You O Lord, will keep them (Words); You will PRESERVE him (godly/faithful) men from this generation of falsehood, flattering lips, double hearted men) forever. (Psalm 12:7)

Well...once again the Psalmists laments the problem...and proclaim the solution...and it is all hinged on the WORDS OF GOD.
