"Turned Upside-Down"

"The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted." (Psalms 12:8) So here we have verse Eight of a Psalm that is titled "A Plea for Help"; and as I made mention to, in the introduction we have the word "Sheminith", which has a mysterious meaning, but comes from a root word which means eight or eighth; from which I made reference to what God had to do on the eighth day, which was to go to work at redeeming mankind from the fall; and if you look at the way that God works in many times that evil rises up, and especially when it rises up against His children, He has a way of turning everything around; so that those who plotted get caught in their own plot, and the plot that they sought ends up giving glory to Him. What this verse is saying, is that when the vilest of men are exalted to places of trust, then the wicked walk on every side; which means that the wicked are given boldness to show forth their wickedness, when the vilest are lifted up into a place of leadership. I must speak out in defence of the innocent and helpless lives that are being slaughtered in our country; with almost one abortion for every two minutes of every day, is it any wonder that we have such wickedness within our land? Yet, currently throughout our leadership, and even he who sits at the very top, are some of the vilest people we have ever had in leadership; people who almost seem to relish the practice of taking the life of the innocent; so much so, that there is almost a sparkle in their eye as they speak or protecting the practice, and the fierceness of hate in their gaze as they promise to keep it protected. I truly do believe that it has at it's very core all the powers of darkness and destruction; pure evil are those that practice and honour such a wicked practice! Anyway; in the case of Daniel and the plot that was brought against him, not only were those that plotted against him fed to the lions, but the plot itself was turned upside-down. Within their plot, they had conspired to catch one man praying to his God; and after having tricked the king, there was a law signed that forbid anyone from worshipping, petitioning, or praying to anyone but the king; however, even the plot that they had used, ended up being a decree that was established to give glory unto God... "Then king Darius wrote unto all the people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you. I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for He is a Living God, and steadfast for ever, and His kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and His dominion shall be even unto the end. He delivereth and rescueth, and He worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions." (Daniel 6:25-27)
