A Devotional Journey Through the Psalms: Psalm 14
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow
The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God” (Psalm
14:1).
Often the Scriptures put things into two categories. Jew and
Gentile, light and darkness, truth and error, lost and saved, good and evil,
the wise and the fool are some examples. Psalm 14 begins by putting the
spotlight on the fool.
The fool doesn’t suffer from an IQ problem, but a heart
problem. A fool’s heart says, “There is no God.” Why is that foolish? Someone
who says “no” to God’s existence has also said “no” to everything good that God
could do in that person’s life. How foolish is that!
The wise person’s heart says, “There is a God.”
That heart also says “yes” to everything good God wants to
do in their life. The wise heart says “yes” to salvation, to God’s presence, to
His peace, and to His plan and purpose in their life. How wise is that!
Throughout life the blessings of a wise person will keep on
rolling in! The wise will increase in learning, will say no to enticement, will
depart from evil, will walk in the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, will be yoked
to Jesus Christ, will partake of the Scriptures as daily bread, and will
inherit glory.
Insight: Only eternity will fully reveal how wise it was to
say “yes” to God in your daily life today.
