Sure Justice

³ The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:

⁴ Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us? Psalm 12

 

            This is not yet the time to speak of Retributive Justice but the action of singular and sure justice. Here is a promise found in the Psalms. The words in the English are derived from the single verb “karath”. The word as used in the passage is covenantal in nature and focused on a particular category of flattering lips and proud speaking individual. It is the one who in conspiracy says “With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?”

            Remember the covenant with Abraham: “I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curseth thee?” (Genesis 12:3)

Remember the covenantal promise to the Redeemed of the Lord: “I am with you always…?” (Matthew 28: 20)

Have ye not read?: “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of Me, saith the Lord.” (Isaiah 54:17)

            The Lord God has a cause. He also has a challenge in the attitude that is expressed in the question “who is lord over us?” This is the spirit of Antichrist in men. For of this evil person the question is asked who can make war with him and our Lord displays the answer in the Tribulation Judgment.

            Help me Lord, lest I forget that those who come against me hated You first, and they seek to silence and persecute me because of Thee. The tongue used as a weapon shall encounter you who are the Living Word and be undone. For thy promises are sure!
