Psalms 13-14
Dear RTB’ers,
Back to Psalms. How long, O LORD?… How long…? How long…? How long…? (13:1-2) Four times in two verses David cries out, “How long…?” Can you relate? When in your heart you know that something needs to happen, that good needs to overcome evil, and you know that God is all-seeing and all-knowing, but why doesn’t He act??!! You pray and you wait and you wonder, “How long, O LORD?” Yeah, been there…
…there is no one who does good, not even one. (14:3b) David contrasts this verse with his first verse, The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” (14:1a) While we may laugh at “the fool” and his ridiculous claim, we are no better off. We are all in that “not even one” category. My mind also went to Romans 3:10, There is none righteous, not even one. (NASB) There Paul is doing the same thing as David, but there claiming that the Jews are no better than the Gentiles. And we today… Centuries separated Paul from David and now centuries from Paul to us. And still, There is none righteous, not even one. Except Jesus!! Thank you, Lord!
Blessings!
