None Who Seek God

Today's full One Year Bible readings:
Genesis 32:13-34:31 ~ Matthew 11:7-30 ~ Psalm 14:1-7 ~ Proverbs 3:19-20

Psalm 14 speaks of the painful reality that the congregation of the righteous observe in the world - the sinfulness of man and his unwillingness to seek God. This, of course, begs the question of us, "Does it break our hearts that wicked, sinful, rebellious people refuse to seek the Lord?" We know that this grieves the heart of God; but, does it really make a difference to us? It should break our heart and motivate us to pray in faith, and show love and compassion like Christ.

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.

Psalm 14:2-3 (NIV)

Today, as an act of worship, praise God for His great salvation; He came to redeem us - the fallen, the broken, the wicked and rebellious, full of treachery, yet loved by God. Pray for those who have not yet turned to Christ and received the Love of God. Love your neighbor!
