Psalm 14:1, 4-6 NIV
The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, their deeds are vile;
there is no one who does good.
Do all these evildoers know nothing?
They devour my people as though eating bread;
they never call on the Lord .
But there they are, overwhelmed with dread,
But there they are, overwhelmed with dread,
for God is present in the company of the righteous.
You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor,
but the Lord is their refuge.
How often do we think we are being taken advantage of by money grubbing companies? Why is it that I can buy gasoline at nearly $0.50 less in a rural community 7 miles away? The psalm speaks of morally deficient people who give God no credence. The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." With such a worldview, in a free democracy, we become worshipers of something less. Perhaps it's money or country, or family or position. We can become gods to ourselves. This attitude of the heart leads to all manner of evil and oppression. Ignorance of God engenders folly.
Take hope in the knowledge that God is among His people who call out to Him in faith and in praise. The poor in spirit be blessed.
