“The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, There is none that doeth good. The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any that did understand, And seek God.”
Psalm 14:1-2 KJV
David knew intimately his God, so he could say, “Only the withering soul would say to himself, “There is no God.” Anyone who thinks like this is corrupt and callous, devoid of what is good. Yahweh looks down in love, looking over all of Adam’s sons and daughters. He’s looking to see if there is anyone who acts wisely, any who are searching for God and wanting to please him.” The word for “fool” comes from a Hebrew word meaning “withering”. If we make no room for God, we have withering hearts, our moral sense of righteousness is put to sleep, and the noble aspirations of the heart shrivel up and die. The goodness of our God is such that He loves all mankind and is looking to see who desires to please Him. But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Amen!
