The fool says in his heart,
“There’s no God.”
The Psalmist’s clarity and honesty here are amazing.
He’s right, of course. No one “does good.” “All have become corrupt.”
This is the influence, the result of sin on everyone.
No one can stand up as righteous before almighty God.
No one.
Except Jesus.
The Psalmist pleads for deliverance to come.
He has come!
Jesus is the righteousness of God, made man that, through Him, all who trust in Him may stand right before God. Not on their own merit – but on His sacrifice.
The fool refuses to see, hear, or know God through Christ.
Praise God for His mercy that draws us to Him through Jesus Christ, our Redeemer.
One last image reminding me of the truth of Psalm 8.
Numbering My Days
