Psalm 12 - The Talking Dead
TOPIC
David is afraid he’s the last Godly person on earth because it seems like the rest of humanity has been infected by a deadly plague that can be identified through speech.
SCRIPTURE REFERENCES
Psalm 12:1-8 Proverbs 26:28 Jeremiah 1:12 Matthew 12:34 Romans 8:26 1 Thessalonians 2:5 James 3:6 1 John 3:1
FROM THE MESSAGE
“The antidote to the plague of proud hearts and corrupted tongues is the eternal word of God. His word is not proud, it is pure. In fact, “seven times” here is actually the dual form. So David is saying that God’s word has been refined and purified seven times twice.Why does that matter? Well, here we are in a sin-ridden world, a world where the truth of God is often under attack. A world where we sometimes face pressure for being in covenant with Jesus.
What happened when Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego were faced with pressure and opposition and attack? They told Nebuchadnezzar they would not bow to him as master. They remained faithful to the Lord. They trust His promises. So what did Nebuchadnezzar do? He had the furnace heated seven times hotter. And what happened? God intervened to save these faithful ones. His word, His promises not only withstand the furnace of life, they withstand a furnace heated seven times hotter. They could’ve gone another seven times hotter still and God’s truth would’ve remained just as pure, just as valuable, just as reliable in any circumstance.
We sing God’s words, we decorate our homes with them, that’s good. But they are not only good for melody or decoration. They are as beautiful and useful and valuable as the purest silver.”
