WEDNESDAY Reflections
The fool has said in his heart there is no
God. This isn’t saying someone who acts silly, or as we call it foolishly, is
this kind of person. A fool in Biblical times is someone who was spiritually
empty or void of all spiritual understanding. This person sees life as just
what they can get. They believe there is nothing else and once you are dead you
are dead. They can’t see anything more. Since they believe there is no God
there is no ultimate right or wrong and thus they will become vile and not seek
good. Why? Because for them nothing ultimately matters. This is a sad
existence.
The problem is there are many people who say they believe in God but actually live like they don’t. This is where the verse comes into play that says they “say in their heart.” Their words may say something totally different but their actions give another story.
Psa 14:1-7
(1) To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. 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.
(2) The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
(3) They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
(4) Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.
(5) There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.
(6) Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.
(7) Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
