Psalm 53

BibleGateway.com Passage Lookup: Psalm 53

Verse 1 -
In the atheist heart there is still a tugging that continues to call out for reconciliation to the creator and King of the universe. Only a fool denies this knowledge. The person who claims there is no God is looking at the mirror and not knowing what they look like. You must wickedly twist your reality in order to claim there is no God. We know that not one of us though is innocent there is "no one who does good". Every time we put anything above the rightful place of God we are joining in the saying of fools. To deny God's existence or his Sovereignty is equally reprehensible to the site of the Lord and we have all done it by trying to command our own lives.

Verse 2 -
God is looking for us to seek him. There are many who seek there own personal fulfillment through religion but who actually seeks to be in the presence of the one true God?

Verse 3 and 4-
Once again I have turned away I am full of deceit and evil, I use people for my own gain and satisfaction and comfort.

Verse 5 -
God will put to shame those that continue to attack and rebel against the Most High.

Verse 6 -
We must rejoice for not all is lost! The salvation of the Lord has come to Zion. Through Christ we have been made free or our slavery to sin. We have been made alive to God. You have gained the greatest reward at no price to yourself. The Lord Jesus paid the price and has given us forgiveness. When you were forgiven you were brought the most wonderful treasure in all the universe - relationship with our glorious Lord has been restored! REJOICE all you people of God!
