Kept in Safety -Psalms 12:5-7

This promise is an encouragement to those who are oppressed or needy (which I think we all experience at various points in our life). God promises to set us in safety and to keep us. I also find verse six fascinating, which talks about how the words of God are pure...

...I'm thinking that its referring to verse five, in which the promise is a direct quote from God...God spoke the promise that He will keep us safe, and that promise was spoken with pure words. In other words, God is using the purity as of His words as a reminder that His promise is pure and not corrupt.

Just what I'm thinking, but I believe some research into the Hebrew is required :)

""For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now I will arise," says the LORD; "I will set him in the safety for which he yearns." The words of the LORD are pure words, like silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. You shall keep them, O LORD, You shall preserve them from this generation forever."

He is My Rock -Psalms 92:12-15

"The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those who are planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bear fruit in old age; They shall be fresh and flourishing, To declare that the LORD is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him."

The Power of God's Word -Psalms 19:7-11

This passage is a great promise regarding God's Word, (The Bible), and the power it can have in our life.
"The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; The statues of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes; The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them Your servant is warned, And in keeping them there is great reward."

You Will Show Yourself -Psalms 18:25-26

"With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful; With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless; With the pure You will show Yourself pure; And with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd."

Revealing His Secret -Amos 3:7

"Surely the Lord GOD does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets."
This is an important promise to remember, especially now...

God has revealed Himself through His prophets, which was then recorded in the Bible. Since we know that the era of prophecy is over, if we hear something that contradicts the Bible, we can know that it is inaccurate.

Arms Me With Strength -Psalms 18:31-32

"For who is God, except the LORD? And who is a rock, except our God? It is God who arms me with strength, And makes my way perfect."
I really like this reminder...God is the one who perfects us, and gives us strength.

He is our Rock.
