Will You Be That Psalm-one

There are few things interesting things that are mentioned in psalm 14. Based from what I have learnt from the psalms guide that Joshua posted, I gathered a few learning points

In v1, it mainly talks about the wicked believing that there is no God and that they lead a corrupt life.

In v2, the Lord looks for someone who understands someone who seeks Him but He finds none. As said in v3, He declares that there is no one who does good, not even one. Interestingly, even David, who was known as a man after God’s heart, was not considered good in God’s eyes. If David was not even considered good, what about us then?

Truly, no one can escape the judgment of the Lord. We can never be good in God’s eyes by relying on our own capabilities. As I said before, we have the capability of doing what the wicked would do, in this case, leading a corrupt life. It is by God’s grace and strength that we are able to stand firm. We need God to transform us from the inside out, to help us lead a righteous life. God is ever present in the company of the righteous, and He constantly reminds us that He can and will be our refuge.

God has become part of my everyday life and I just can’t imagine my life without Him. It’s been incredible how He has led me back to Him all these years. Some might think, I’m not worthy of His love for I have sin against Him time and time again. Yes, there maybe times where we might have hurt Him but He is always ready to forgive us, if only we ask. God is a gracious God and nothing pleases Him more than spending time with Him. God is finding someone who is seeking Him right this moment.

Will you be that someone?
