THE FOOL SAYS THERE IS NO GOD

Passage: Psalm 53:1~6  

Key verse: 1a


1. God seeks those who seek him (1-3)

The man who says in his heart, 'There is no God' lives as if he is not accountable to anyone, so he is corrupt and his ways are vile. He is a fool. God looks down from heaven, seeking those who seek him. He longs to forgive and bless those who seek him. But no one is righteous; everyone has turned from God and become corrupt (Ro 3:10-20). Evildoers are godless people try to devour God's people as men eat bread.

2. O that salvation would come! (4-6)

Those who forget that God is there are full of dread when there is nothing to dread. Evildoers will learn that God exists and that he is righteous. God himself will punish those who harass his people. The salvation for which all sinners wait is Jesus, the promised Messiah.


Prayer: Lord, I turn my heart to seek you this morning. Drive out all the darkness of fear. Thank you for Jesus, the salvation from Zion who comes with forgiveness, healing and love.

One Word: The fool says there is no God
