“They have set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue parades through the earth. Therefore his people return to this place, and waters of abundance are drunk by them. They say, “How does God know? And is there knowledge with the Most High?” Behold, these are the wicked; and always at ease, they have increased in wealth.” (Psalm 73:9-12)
People of violence speak against the Lord. Look for the inconsistencies. They say love while speaking Their tongues are wagging and they constantly harass others for their own benefit. Look to the Lord and do not be swayed by the wicked of this world. God knows all things. He is not bound by time, but created it. He knows that which He has created. Be guided by the truth that God knows all things and not by those who hate Him.
Lord, I am too often swayed by the lofty words of those who are constantly speaking and leading me away from You. You alone have the words of eternal life and there is no other place to go. You alone know all things. All things have their being through You. Guide me, O Lord, to look to You alone that I would forever hold fast to the truth You have revealed once for all. Guide me in Your goodness that I might shut my ears to the cacophony of this world.
Lord Jesus, You walked humbly and boldly through this world of wickedness for our sake. You know all the things people say. Grant Holy Spirit that I would not listen to all the noise, but learn to listen to You. Open my ears to the sweet music of Your Word and drown out all the noise that would lead me away from You. Keep me close to You that I may abide only in You and be led only by You. Amen.
