Psalm 12:1-8
12:1-2 David recognized that the system of the world operated opposite from the system of heaven. Without God's intervention, peace and justice and righteousness would be overrun by chaos, injustice and evil. Through prayer and a sincere relationship with God, we call forth the intervention of heaven on the circumstances of the earth.
12:3-4 David prayed for call to thwart evil, to mute its voice and strip it of its power.
12:5 God has promised to raise the righteous-humble; He has promised to rise Himself and place His children in safety.
12:6-7 David knew that God's word was authentic. God's intentions come in fruition every time. He is solid and so are His promises. Solidly held in truth for eternity.
12:8 David knew that it was crucial for him to call upon God; on earth, the righteous are surrounded by unrighteousness. Our only defense against evil is God. God is our defense against evil but also enemy and depression, anxiety and fear, violence and darkness. Our relationship with Him is our journey into the light and away from the darkness.
