Psalm 12
It can often seem, because of the prevalence of moral decay in our culture, that the godly have vanished from the face of the earth. It can seem that everyone lies, that no one can be trusted and that evil people are winning and flaunting it. It’s a sad commentary that “what is vile is honored among men.”
Truly we are living in the midst of a generation that knows no bounds to perversion and immorality, to deceit and greed. And these are traits for which many stand up and applaud!
Case in point: The 2010 People’s Choice Award for favorite pop artist is a young woman known as Lady Gaga whose lyrics and lifestyle define the word “vile.” The Award for favorite movie went to “Twilight,” where the vampire world takes a glamorized center stage. And the number one TV comedy Award went to “The Big Bang Theory,” a show whose laughs are generated through the lens of all things sexually immoral.
This is what America “honors” in our day. Are you aware that our elected Illinois representatives recently passed a bill approving civil unions for gay couples? Do you realize that for nearly 38 years now a mother has had the “right” to legally kill the unborn child in her womb?
Yet the Lord hears the groans of the faithful, He will arise and protect them from this generation forever. Against the vileness of our culture, His words are pure and flawless.
