Fools say there is no God. It is a foolish thing to see God’s creation and all of His wonderful works and still think this way. What is sad, is that many people who once thought to be religious have since become atheists over time. They are corrupt. They do abominable things and have no control over their temptations without the Holy Spirit in their lives. They do not good, but evil, because their heart is not set on God. God looks down upon the earth and can see that the majority of people do not seek Him. David wrote, “the fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good. God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.” (Psalm 53:1,2) What is your life like? Are you like unto the wicked who do not seek God also? If so, you know what to do. Repent and come back to Him.
The wicked go back to their wayward lives. They are filthy in their own wicked ways. Because God is missing in their lives, they do not good. Workers of iniquity are caught up in themselves and what they know, but are missing real knowledge from God. These people persecute God’s saints. They mock them and cause many faithful to stumble. They do all this because they do not call upon God. Therefore, they justify their sins instead of confessing them to the Lord, and to others they’ve offended, while not forsaking them. David continued and wrote, “every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.” (Psalm 53:3,4) What God asks of you is to call upon Him, seek His hand, and trust in Him every day of your lives. Commit to this and you will be blessed.
Let us pray:
Oh Lord, come down and rescue those who are lost. Speak to Your servants and send us where we need to go in order to find these precious souls. I will go wherever You want me to be. Whatever time and place that will be. Give me instructions and I will respond in Your favor. This world is so wicked. The majority of people do not seek You but live for themselves instead. I am seeing more idolators in this world than what I’ve read in Your Holy Word, the Bible. The cults have made up a god to fit their false beliefs. They’ve made up all kinds of false doctrines that the world loves, although none of it is in accordance with Your Words. These people build up temples in order to save people who are dead, not believing that You have already done Your part in saving individuals before their death. Lord, how is it that people live in their false beliefs, abundance of sin, and continue to justify it on a daily basis? These are workers of iniquity. May at least some of them come out of it and be saved. I believe in You, Jesus. I love You. Amen.
Amen! We must remember God and never forget Him and always remember that there is a God and that we will be judged by Him and that He sees everything. It is a sin to say that He doesn’t exist. We just filthier and filthier when we forget God. We must remain true and loyal to Him and live our lives for Him. He alone is perfect and holy and righteous and good and pure and just and worthy and beautiful and glorious. We must be wholesome and new creatures in Christ and be so for Him. We must seek His will always.
I find it baffling, especially in a country where there is still religious freedom that people would reject the forgiveness and offer of eternal life that Jesus gives. Yet, I know that what you have written about people who were once religious becoming atheists. We’ve seen it in our own family.
