Psalm 53:2. “God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.” GOD LOOKED DOWN. It is sort of like the howling of a dog baying at a full moon – The saying “No God for me” is a word spoken by a fool. It doesn’t change God in any way; it only exposes man’s sin –
An evil heart of unbelief is how the darkness of the soul begins.
One thing leads to another, and the dark within comes out. Thoughts of ignorance become words, then words become a shout Of defiance against all reason and particularly against faith – Evil deeds began as thoughts, now against God’s people, take place.
How can God withhold His judgment and justice against them; He knows the meaning of the words – they are mostly against Him. As He looks from heaven, how evil is the world of men – Surely judgment is coming, and pay-day will be then.
How gracious it is of God not to clench His outstretched hands, And spare from instant judgment those who speak against Him. His long-suffering is very obvious as He waits for true repentance, Knowing that unless men turn, hell’s doom will be their sentence.
It is only by His grace that I am not with them aligned. Only grace that comes from Him helped me salvation find. God knew my pride and carelessness – each a fatal choice – Then, I finally heard His voice through His Gospel and His grace.
Sometimes I complain about the evil that seems to surround me– Yet I know I see things now from here on redemption ground. I only see a little – God sees every idle thought That leads to some evil activity that soon will be brought to naught.
My role then is to be an intercessor, praying to God for those Who presently have no thought for Him, caught in sin’s dark throes. From time to time, I’ll speak for God when the Spirit opens that door. Maybe some will be like the woman who was told to sin no more.
“Thou dost know heavenly Father, all that is going on around me. In Mexico, the preaching of the Gospel seems to be going well. In other parts of Central America and other parts of the world, souls are coming into the kingdom. There is little being done where I live and labor among the unsaved. O God of grace and justice, move upon the people we are speaking to and bring genuine repentance and salvation. I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
