Psalm 14
This a familiar Psalm that begins with a familiar verse. It tells us, "The fool has said in his heart there is no God." A person can have an abundance of knowledge and may have reached the pinnacle of their profession. However, no matter how smart a person appears to be, in God's opinion, an atheist is a foolish person.
The Lord also lets us know in this Psalm that every person on this planet is a sinner. There is none who does good. Elsewhere in the Bible, we are told that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned everyone to his own way.
Those who do not acknowledge God, and those who do not acknowledge the Lordship of Jesus Christ, often act in ways that bring injustice and oppression upon those who are poor and weak. They try to persecute those who put their trust in the Lord.
This Psalm tells us that the Lord is the refuge of His people. He will look after His own, and He will bring justice for those who are persecuted and oppressed.
Phillipians tells us that every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord. There will not be any atheists or doubters on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed in all of His glory.
Before that great and glorious day comes, the Lord is giving an opportunity for all people everywhere to acknowledge Him. Whosoever will may come. The Bible tells us in the Revelation that there will be a great multitude around the throne worshipping the Lamb. The multitude will be made up of every tribe, nation and language group. I hope that everyone who is reading this will be part of that great multitude.
