Psalm 14: The Faithful in a Corrupt World

The fool says, “There is no God.” This practical atheism lurks inside every believer. The fool in man is not just stupid, though he does at times ignore the highest wisdom; he just does not always think or behave as if God really matters, that He is not of any importance in his affairs, that He is not closely involved in every aspect of life.

I must see the fool inside myself; it does me no good to point him out in the world. I need to confront and confess the heinous sin of Unbelief in my own self centered nature; for it is a destructive enemy to life and wellbeing. (Remember the First Commandment.) Outside of God there is great terror, but God is with the generation of the righteous, and I am declared righteous because of Jesus Christ.

“0 that salvation for God’s people would come out of Zion.” Shout for joy, because it has: the Savior has come. Zion means the presence of God on the earth, which today is the called and gathered people of God. Whenever I get in trouble or face a problem because I didn’t remember God is here I “go to heaven,” turn to Him in repentance and faith.
