Psalms 12

@prodigaljohn "May the LORD cut off all flattering lips & every boastful tongue." P12 Reason #987 to be humble

@gustafsonk Ps 12- Living in the generation I do, I feel David's cry. "The faithful have vanished from among men." What is my role in fixing it?

@blundin When you are surrounded by deceit and boasts cling to the word of the Lord that is "pure like silver refined in a furnace" Psalm 12:6

@philigionosophy The words of man are many times deceitful, but the words of the Lord are always pure - Day 12 - http://tumblr.com/xal5mfo5g

@LisaNotes Place your total trust here: "The words of the LORD are pure words, like silver refined in a furnace on the ground." Ps 12:6

@autumnlindsay_ For the poor & needy, the Lord will arise and place them in safety. P12:5s

@staidan Lord, when faith is faint & speech veils our intentions, restore us by your word of power & purity, both now & for ever. Refl. on Ps12

Psalm 13

@prodigaljohn "How long?" Are the two most mournful words but David still ends with "he has been good to me." P13

@GustafsonK Psalm 13- Patience is a virtue. David asks "how long, how long" and yet knows how good the Lord is to him.

@joelt_ Psa13-The world says maturity is moving from dependence 2 independence. God desires us to move from independence to dependence on Him

@LisaNotes A pattern in many of David's psalms: Start by calling out to God; end by praising him. Like this one: Psalm 13

@blundin When God seems far away we should still trust him because of the love and grace he has already shown us. Psalm 1

@philigionosophy God's love is unfailing, unrelenting, and unchanging - Day 13 - http://tumblr.com/xal5nicjf

Psalm 14

@prodigaljohn God is constantly called a refuge in Psalms, a shelter from trouble. So when it comes, don't try to fix it first. Take refuge. P14

@GustafsonK Psalms 14:2 - The Lord is not aloof in heaven but instead painstakingly follows each and every man. 6 billion and counting

@LisaNotes Who says, "There is no God"? Only a fool. Ps 14:

@blundin "There is none who does good, not even one." Psalm 14:3 "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23

@staidan Do you have a foolish heart? Ps 14:1

@jared_young Why do we shy away from God when He is constantly called a refuge (shelter, shield, etc.)? Psalms

PSalms 15

@prodigaljohn When it comes to things God despises, gossip is mentioned more times than murder in Psalms. P15

@GustafsonK Psalms 15- Strength is rooted in Compassion, Truth, and Integrity.

@LisaNotes "You'll never get blacklisted if you live like this." Psalm 15:5 (The Message)

@blundin We are defined by our relationships and how we treat others. Psalm 15

@joelt_ Psa15-Thinking that if I/we were to live this with fierce intensity, much would change. David says it's the key to a solid foundation

Psalms 16

@prodigaljohn "apart from you I have no good thing" - I think God's nickname should be "enough" because he is. P16

@GustafsonK Psalms 16:5 In the midst of all my struggles re:my future plans, David said it the best. "You have assigned me my cup and my portion"

@blundin Our lot and placement in life is a "beautiful inheritance", in which the Lord wants us to be content. Psalm 16

@autumnlindsay_ The lines have fallen for me me in pleasant places...P16:6

@philigionosophy I have been given a great gift: A path to follow. Designing through Psalms - day 16 - http://tumblr.com/xal5qivrh

@staidan I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord;apart from you I have no good thing." Ps 16:2 Where do your priorities lie?

Psalm 17

@GustafsonK Psalms 17:14 Save me from men who's reward is THIS life. "But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven... " Matt 6:20-21

@LisaNotes Why should you call on God? Because He will answer. Psalm 17:6

@blundin When you have nowhere else to run, run to Him. Psalm 17

Psalm 18

@GustafsonK P18:31 Who is God besides the Lord? Who is the Rock except our God? Do you smell what the rock is cooking?(apologies to Dwayne Johnson

@blundin The Lord is our refuge, supporting us with his very own hands through all challenges and enemies in this world. Psalm 18

@LisaNotes David knew how to spit it out. Verse 1: "I love you, O Lord, my strength." Ps 18. Simple and true.
