Be dependable
Today's word: Psalm 12
1 Help, LORD, for the godly are no more;
the faithful have vanished from among men.
Do you get discouraged when a friend lets you down? Can you think of a time when you may have discouraged someone else? It does happen once in a while. You need to be sensitive to other people - to be kind to them. If you tell a friend you will do something, you should mean what you are saying and do it. If you know the Lord, people should be able to depend on you.
To memorize: Titus 1:16
They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him
1 Help, LORD, for the godly are no more;
the faithful have vanished from among men.
2 Everyone lies to his neighbor;
their flattering lips speak with deception.
3 May the LORD cut off all flattering lips
and every boastful tongue
4 that says, "We will triumph with our tongues;
we own our lips [b] —who is our master?"
5 "Because of the oppression of the weak
and the groaning of the needy,
I will now arise," says the LORD.
"I will protect them from those who malign them."
6 And the words of the LORD are flawless,
like silver refined in a furnace of clay,
purified seven times.
7 O LORD, you will keep us safe
and protect us from such people forever.
8 The wicked freely strut about
when what is vile is honored among men.
