Only fools say in their hearts, "There
is no God." They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them
does good! The LORD looks down from heaven on the entire human race; He looks
to see if anyone is truly wise, if anyone seeks God. But no, all have turned
away; all have become corrupt. No one does good, not a single one! Psalm
14:1-3
God is amazing. As I understand it He can
see all of time at once. He sees and hears everyone…always. Everyone…that is a
lot of people...through all of history. Imagine the chatter He must listen to
as so many people are praying…and of course thinking, all at the same time. He
can easily determine if a person is foolish or wise. Our mouths…our words…give
us away. Though we sometime are thinking and speaking good things—maybe even
holy…like Jesus, there are other times when our hearts and attitudes aren’t in
the right place. When my attitude isn’t good, it is just best if I stay away
from others until I can get an attitude adjustment. Usually some time spent in
God’s word is all it takes to change my perspective and get me back on track.
When David wrote this Psalm he was pretty pessimistic about the human race— all
have become corrupt. No one does good, not a single one! Have we
changed? God gives us each a choice…to seek God and live a righteous life…or to
reject God and be a fool. How do you choose to see God and be seen by Him?
Prayer
~ Lord God, Our hearts and attitude need to come to you… The sacrifice you desire is a
broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God. Psalm
51:17. So it is with a humble heart that I come before You now, Lord, seeking
to please You with my every thought, word and breath.
