psalms 12

it's been how many days since i blogged about the psalms...

i believe God's word is new every morning.. and even if you read it repeatedly... everyday.. God will give you some insights that you still haven't realize...

so here it is..

psalms 12:1-4

Help Lord, for the godly man ceases!
For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men.
They speak idly everyone with his neighbor;
With flattering lips and a double heart they speak.
May the Lord cut off all the flattering lips,
And the tongue that speak proud things,
Who have said,
"With our tongue we will prevail;
Our lips are our own;
Who is lord over us?"

I was reminded of someone who thinks he is already better than the others... who thinks he is more righteous... that what he said is correct... a proud one... is it because that he stayed in the ministry... can he consider himself holier than the others who left? i dont think so... the others left because God placed them in other places where they can still serve God... with their own will or not... God only knows... and if one day God return them to that place... will he question their motives? will he think that they have their own motives just to go back to that place... it is so sad to think that people who stayed have those mindsets... will there be a revival of that group one day? i don't know... what if the revival should have taken place... should he had not cancel the opportunity to minister... i'm not in the position to judge... lest i dont want to be judged also... but i just write this... to say what my observation is... getting the excuse that "you should have known the real story".. but i believe... i already had the grasp of it... "you should have been here"... why should i?... and questioning why in the world that all of a sudden that i went there... had a free time.. you should have also known the real story behind that... and not accuse me of anything... well.. i believe... everything happens for a reason... for good or for bad? we cannot tell... only God knows... if you think you obeyed God... do you think you are more righteous now than the others? if you disobeyed him... will he punish you with your life? i dont think so... God gives and takes away life... He has His own reason... there are times that when you obeyed... that is the time that he takes away... does that mean... you are disobedient that's why he took it away... i dont think so... should the activity pushed through and nothing bad happened.. what will happen to you... it will just prove that the speaking of "God" to you is not right... havent you notice that out of nowhere... God provides worker who will help in that activity... that people are willing to go even if they are outside the country... isnt it so much of a revelation that God is saying yes.... go to this activity... even if there are bad people outside... will it give him much glory if we can testify that even if there are bad people... the activity is still successful... by God's grace... well.. damaged has been done... the hopes of some of the people who badly needed this activity were crushed... still using the name of the group... so sad...
