“The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: There is none that doeth good.”
Psalm 53:1 KJV
The psalmist says, “Only the withering soul would say to himself, “There’s no God for me!” Anyone who thinks like that is corrupt and callous; depraved and detestable, they are devoid of what is good.” The word “fool” in Hebrew means “withering”. If we make no room for God, we have withered hearts, our moral sense of righteousness is put to sleep, and the noble aspirations of the heart shrivel up and die. This psalm is a repeat of another previous psalm and when God says something once, we believe it but when it is spoken twice, it demands our utmost attention! This psalm also clearly speaks of the downfall of those who oppose Israel. Jesus said clearly, ““But everyone who hears My teaching and does not apply it to his life can be compared to a foolish man who built his house on sand.” May we never be in the category of those who disregard God. Amen!
