Today’s scripture: Psalm 12:1-4
I read today’s scripture, and my first thought is: Nothing has changed. Year after year. Century after century. Nothing has changed.
So many today arrogantly “speak falsehood” with “double heart[s].” They ask, “who is lord over us?” They think they’re in control. It seems that the godly have, indeed, “cease[d] to be.”
Ahhh … but that’s not true! There are godly men and women around the world. Men and women who strive to live like Christ. Who give to the poor. Who serve the “least of these” (Matt. 25:31-46). Who want to do what’s right, to love with mercy, and to walk humbly with God (Micah 4:8).
We’ve talked time and time again about how it often seems the enemy is winning, and yes, we do live in a world where the majority don’t know the one true God. But no matter how many battles the enemy wins, we know who has already won the war! (John 16:33).
