Help, LORD,
for the godly are no more;
the faithful have vanished
from among men.
The wicked freely strut about
when what is vile is
honored among men.
Psalm 12:1,8
I sound like an old guy. "Things are falling apart. But I remember back in the good old days when ..."
Honestely .. in our generation, things ARE falling apart.
BUT it's nothing new.
I'm guessing that David wasn't even an old guy yet, probably not even 30, when he was saying, "I remember the good old days when ... But nowadays, 'the godly are no more; the faithful have vanished.'"
What should this tell us? Humanity's a mess. Always has been. Always will be.
The modern myth is that humanity is evolving morally. No. Just read the headlines.
Our hope doesn't come from us. Just as David knew that it didn't come from himself or his generation.
As another Psalm says, "My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth." Psalm 121:2. As this Psalm says, "7 You, O Lord, will protect us; you will guard us from this generation forever."
In Christ's Love,
a guy who needs his heart
protected from the obvious
evils of a generation,
but needs his heart protected
more from a generation's
subtle temptations
