Psalm 14

Psalm 14

For the director of music. Of David.

1 The fool ^[a] says in his heart,
"There is no God."
They are corrupt, their deeds are vile;
there is no one who does good.

2 The LORD looks down from heaven
on the sons of men
to see if there are any who understand,
any who seek God.

3 All have turned aside,
they have together become corrupt;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.

4 Will evildoers never learn—
those who devour my people as men eat bread
and who do not call on the LORD ?

5 There they are, overwhelmed with dread,
for God is present in the company of the righteous.

6 You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor,
but the LORD is their refuge.

7 Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
When the LORD restores the fortunes of his people,
let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!

Chin Ling :
Ever since the psalm reading started, I've been more and more sensitive and aware of the Lord's presence in my life and it never felt better! And, the psalms says that the Lord is looking down from heaven, seeking for people who seek the Lord. It is really challenging me to go deeper in Jesus. I would like to be one of those that God takes delight in. I know I have a hope that is strong and firm that I can rejoice and be glad in! Praise the Lord!

Aileen:

I woke up early today to read my books and i just had a feeling of unease about going to work. That sinking feeling and i read psalms. Very reminded to take refuge in the lord today and i prayed against these negative feelings and told the lord that i'll be a light in my workplace today.

Sara: vs 2 - The Lord looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. To me, it's really finding and seeing God at work in my workplace, my relationship, my home, my life and understanding how much God yearns to pour out his heart to me, but only if I draw near to Him and seek Him with all my heart.

Pam: I am glad to noe tat I am nt a fool (cos I noe I have a great GOD!!!)! I am reminded that while knowing theres a God is simply just nt enf bt is realli seeking in HIM (taking refuge) .... n also be "spirtually conscious" lest I become like wat v3 saes "all have turned aside...."

Joanna: V6 "but the Lord is their refuge". God is reminding me that He is my refuge and strength. I am also reminded NOT to be a fool and decide my own ways.

Crow: i am reminded to always seek God.. Today was the first day @ school for me (after almost 2 mths of office work!!) haa, really thank the Lord for joy and peace @ the school today... :) Yup, God is so good!

Phebe: God spoke to me to do His to-do list, and not mine. i feel very encouraged today, cos God opened a door for me to have lunch with my fren today, last nite she suddenly shared with me her struggle (which sounded pretty similar to mine)..that her mum always wants her to get As..if not the mum wont be happy... In my heart i said...God, i must win this girl for you.. So praying now that she will be my open cell member #2! :) Not only that, this girl has 3 simliar modules as me this sem!!! so rare! this is definitely not a pure conicidence.. :)

Dellia: It is indeed so easy to walk astray.......I pray that as God look down from heaven, He will always find us faithful and loving Him and serving Him.
