Psalm 12:8 “The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.”
If God’s people would saturate themselves in the word of God daily, they would not be so easily seduced by the lies of the world. According to the verse: When wickedness is left unchecked, When wickedness is protected by those in authority, things are very bad in the world. In the same sentence of scripture, when the vilest of men are promoted to positions of authority, positions of trust, such as court systems, governmental positions that make law, that protect the constitution, and do nothing to those who are acting in wickedness (breaking the laws), but support them, give them confidence and encouragement, then the wicked walk on every side, or swarm all over the place. Their mission is to deceive, to destroy and they are neither ashamed of what they do, nor how they do it. In fact they do it in the open and laugh about it. They declare and celebrate their sin openly because there is no one to stop them from doing so. In fact what God calls vile and condemns, is now called entertainment and fun. People boast about things they should be ashamed of yet, there is no shame in the heart of the wicked. We are living in a time where verse 8 is true right now. Guard you mind. We wrestle not against flesh and blood but against powers, and principalities, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Don’t want to miss service Sunday.
