Prayer – Lord, I believe in You. I know you look down from Heaven and see all humans in all times—the entire human race. There must be some that acknowledge You. I do. Show me any corruption in my life—that I may repent and be restored to You. Will this ultimately happen with Israel? As I read Your Word—I see that at least some in Israel will turn to You—You will restore Your people. Then I will shout for joy…along with Jacob and all of Israel.
Only fools say in their hearts, "There is no God." They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them does good! God 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! Will those who do evil never learn? They eat up my people like bread and wouldn't think of praying to God. Terror will grip them, terror like they have never known before. God will scatter the bones of your enemies. You will put them to shame, for God has rejected them. Who will come from Mount Zion to rescue Israel? When God restores his people, Jacob will shout with joy, and Israel will rejoice. Psalm 53:1-6
Meditate. What are you thinking in your heart?
But no, all have turned away from God—according to David’s
Psalm of today. Will those who do evil never learn? A day of reconning
will come. Those wicked people who reject God now—and forever—will be sorry
that they did not seek God.
I solemnly urge you in the
presence of God and Christ Jesus, who will someday judge the living and the
dead when he appears to set up his Kingdom: Preach the word of God. Be
prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and
encourage your people with good teaching. For a time is coming when people will
no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own
desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching
ears want to hear. They will reject the truth and chase after myths. But you
should keep a clear mind in every situation. Don't be afraid of suffering for
the Lord. Work at telling others the Good News, and fully carry out the
ministry God has given you. 2 Timothy 4:1-5
What do you say? There is a God or “There is no God.”
Verses of Salvation ~ Look upon my suffering and rescue
me, for I have not forgotten your instructions. Argue my case; take my side!
Protect my life as you promised. The wicked are far from rescue, for they do
not bother with your decrees. LORD, how great is your mercy; let me be revived
by following your regulations. Psalm 119:153-156
(Being rescued is salvation.)
Memory Verse of the Week ~ Seek the Kingdom of God above
all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. Matthew 6:33
