Psalm 14:1-7

October is here. Though you would have thought so already since the stores have been decorated for a while now. This time of year always makes me think of all the signs the Lord told us to watch out for that would point toward His return. You know when you see Christmas decor, thanksgiving is ahead! Now we press on into a new month. Please keep us in your prayers. Thank you for each one of them.

Psalm 14:1-7

FOR THE CHOIR DIRECTOR. A PSALM OF DAVID.
    The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”
    They are corrupt, they have committed abominable deeds;
    There is no one who does good.
    The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men
    To see if there are any who understand,
    Who seek after God.
    They have all turned aside, together they have become corrupt;
    There is no one who does good, not even one.
    Do all the workers of wickedness not know,
    Who eat up my people as they eat bread,
    And do not call upon the Lord?
    There they are in great dread,
    For God is with the righteous generation.
    You would put to shame the counsel of the afflicted,
    But the LORD is his refuge.
    Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
    When the LORD restores His captive people,
    Jacob will rejoice, Israel will be glad.

Your decisions about God are not something you can make in your mind, while listening to hear what man has to say. What you believe about creation, about heaven, and about your soul is made up in your heart. For it is in the heart that a man will either choose to seek Him or deny Him. It is the heart that must be searching for the Lord always.

Mankind will never be able to achieve righteousness on its own. The Bible speaks clearly to the truth that all of us out wicked without Him. It is only through the power of the Spirit that we can have life and abundance living. Perfection is something we will never be able to master, no matter how often we try, no matter how hard we try. It can only come through one means; Jesus. 

David’s prayer for salvation to come out of Israel does get answered when Jesus comes into the world to die for mankind. Salvation does indeed come out of Israel. Remembering that we worship the God of Israel is important. There is great persecution against the Jewish people. We need to pray for them and help them all we can. For we serve a Jewish Messiah who will one day reign on a Jewish throne.
