(Full) Psalm 14 KJV - The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God

Psalm Chapter 14 KJV

King James Version, Holy Bible

1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

2 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the Lord.

5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.

6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his refuge.

7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the Lord bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

 Psalms Chapter 14 Devotional

Psl. 14 is a powerful Scripture about how good God is to His people. This Psl. was written by King David and this Psl. speaks to God's presence, His righteousness, and His bountiful goodness to a righteous generation that forsakes moral perversity and depravity, but cleaves unto that which is good.

The Bible in Psl. 14 shares that a fool says in his heart that there is no God. You know when you turn away from God your actions and your deeds become corrupt.

When you turn away from God, wickedness and moral perversity become prevalent in your heart.

When you turn away from God, you inevitably take counsel with the wicked. And the scripture in Psl. one shares about this kind of counsel. But here in Psl. 14, we see that God is a God of justice and He vindicates the righteous.

Some people sometimes think they can do whatever they want to do with the righteous, but the Bible says that God will deliver them, that God will defend them and that God is in the generation of the righteous. He is in them. We know from scripture, that the Lord dwells in us now by the Holy Spirit (John 14).

God will defend His own.

And so you can take Psl. 14 in your Bible study and realize that the purpose of atheists does not prosper.

You can take this in your Bible study and realize that God's people are protected and God's people, the righteous, will always inevitably prevail.

You can take this and understand that the fool is the one who says that there is no God just as atheists say that there is no God. In the world, they are esteemed, but in God's sight, they are abased. You see, when you put your faith and trust in God, God delivers you from abominable works. He delivers you from doing abominable deeds and from evil people.

Why? Because He puts you on the path of the righteous and the Lord knows the way of the righteous (Psl. 1) because God is the one who orders your steps (Proverbs 3:6). And so when you are on the path of the righteous, you have no reason to lament, and you have no reason to be in fear because God is your Mighty Deliverer.

God is your strong tower.

God is your defender.

God is your provider. And it is our prayer at Alive Christians that you will be far from wicked people; from entertaining their thoughts, and from engaging in their thoughts and fellowshipping with them, because the righteous have no fellowship with the ungodly. But what you are to understand is that regardless of what the wicked seek to do to you, God will defend you and give you His peace in the Name of The Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
