When Words Wound: Psalm 12’s Hope for the Weary

When lies abound and trust feels lost, where do we turn? Psalm 12 offers hope for the disillusioned and weary by reminding us that God's words are pure, His justice is sure, and His people are never forgotten. In a world flooded with deception, God still speaks, and His word is our refuge.

Episode Highlights

• David’s lament over the disappearance of godly and faithful people
• The power and pain of deceptive, manipulative speech
• God's response to the groaning of the oppressed
• The contrast between impure human speech and God’s refined, reliable word
• Assurance that God guards His people even while evil is still active
• A call to model faithful, truthful, healing speech in a dishonest world
• Encouragement for those who feel spiritually alone or betrayed
