By David
Godlessness of Man
“God looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand,
any who seek God.” Psalm 53:2
Psalm 53 is similar to Psalm 14.It’s purpose is to convince us of our sins. God show us through the psalmist how bad we are.
How can men be so bad? This is because there is no fear of God. The fool says to his heart that there is no God, verse 1. Men's bad practices flow from their bad values; if they profess to know God, yet in works & thoughts they deny him, it would mean his heart has no God. Such is a man of folly.
Psalm 53 ends with the Psalmist prayer to the Lord for the deliverance of
Is there the fear of God in your heart? Do you acknowledge the Holy God in your heart? We will sin not when we fear the Lord. Ask God to show you what is in your heart.
Application:
Pray to the Lord:
“Dear God, show me how bad I can be. All my sinfulness and wickedness is naked before you. Reveal to me my corrupt thoughts, that I may know them. ”
As you pray the above prayer, wait patiently before God. He will speak.
Allow Him to review your priorities and it’s motives.
Are these priorities of God or of the world?
Take time to re-set your life’s priorities.
