Psalm 12: Pure Words in a Corrupted World

Pure words from God have great power to overcome the lies that come to us from the enemies of the soul through the world and our flesh. Pride is one of the enemies that lies people believe; pride deceives them into believing they can control things and people with their tongue. They speak lies with a double heart (they know one thing but say another) for personal gain, to show strength and to cover weakness; they also talk a lot in order to control and get their way. The one minded person and honest man (the godly and faithful) is hard to find.

Lies destroy, always. But the Lord promises to guard us and place us in safety using pure words. A single word of truth and and pure love from Him overcomes a slew of lies. God’s words have been purified, tested in a furnace seven times. God’s Word has been faithful and true in the past every time and the Word will save us again this time. Listen to Him.
