Psalms 12:7 NIV
[7] You, Lord, will keep the needy safe and will protect us forever from the wicked,
We know some of what David was dealing with and going through when he wrote his sections of the Psalms. If you like following a common thread, God as Savior, is the one you see in David’s words. He spoke on how God will protect us who love Him from the wicked. I found it interesting how the last verse of this chapter says that God will protect us from people who strut around, when the world honors what is vile. There are many vile things these days that world not only honors but demands we honor as well. Sometimes it feels impossible to stand for the Truth and stand with God. Yet here we see David seeing something that os vile being honored and he himself feels in danger from it. Yet he declares how God will save him. God will save us too when we stand on His side.

Take away:
The world feels like it has never been darker. All sorts of evil are promoted and praised. But God. God will keep us safe as we stand for Him. The first thing He does to keep us safe is open our eyes so we know what is good and what is evil and judge between them.

I am a young woman who grew up in British Columbia. In BC was all I ever wanted; I had my poodle (Max) and all my friends, Saturdays at the Vancouver Aquarium and Sunday afternoons at one of my favorite beaches it was paradise. But God had a different plan for my life and my dad's job landed us in Alberta and now where I remain, in small town Souris Manitoba. The transitions from paradise to prairie were difficult and I will admit that now 10 years later I still refer to home as Abbotsford BC. Through this crazy pathway trek across Canada I have had one true constant, God; and though none of it was easy, everything that has happened in my life has formed in me a true lasting friendship with the one I call Immanuel. Because no matter how far from home we are God is with us, and thanks to God I have found an almost completely over looked beauty in Manitoba. If you open your eyes you will see that God has planted wondrous things everywhere you go.
