Psalm 12:7, 8   
You, Lord, will guard us; 
you will protect us from this generation forever. 
The wicked prowl all around, 
and what is worthless is exalted by the human race. (CSB)

You, Lord, will keep the needy safe 
and will protect us forever from the wicked, 
who freely strut about 
when what is vile is honored by the human race. (NIV)

God is near when lies are common and what is vile is honored. He guards us and protects us. This is good news. 

The darker the days, the brighter God’s light shines. The more confused humanity’s thought processes become, the wiser God’s truth appears. 

God’s good news touches every realm, every area of life and living. It shows the better way. It leads along the way. It provides whatever is necessary on the way. It is the Better Way.

King David’s double bottom line is ours as well. There are many people who are rotten to the core. They are blackhearted sinners. God is good, and everything he offers and makes possible is good, good, good. 

Really, really good is the reality that many blackhearted sinners see themselves for who they are and what they are in the light of God’s glory and grace. They experience his cleansing. They follow his redirection of their steps. They lay aside their vile and worthless ways. 

God guards the good and pursues the wicked. He wants everyone to experience his grace, mercy, kindness, and compassion. 

How do we rid the world of what is vile and wicked? By extending God’s goodness and grace here and there and in every place. 

What an opportunity for a Saturday! Carry God’s light and love wherever you go. Let the goodness and grace of God show. 

I will live in the beauty of God’s goodness and grace. 

Our Father, we live in a darkening world. Use us as light-bearers against the night. May the whole world see how good life can be. May those captive to lies and all that is vile be drawn to your gracious ways and liberating truth. Amen.

Daily D – Luke 1:76-79

Luke 1:76-79 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High;
for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,
to give his people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,
because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven
to shine on those living in darkness
and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the path of peace.
(NIV)

Daily D – John 20:24-28

John 20:24-28 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”

But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

Daily D – John 18:10-11

John 18:10, 11 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”

Daily D – John 13:3-5

John 13:3-5 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

Daily D – John 11:6

John 11:6 “So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days, . . .”
