Main Thought:
The knowledge of men increases year by year, but we are no closer to ultimate truth without God. Indeed all true understanding begins with a comprehension of the Lord’s salvation.
Psalm 53
The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity;
there is none who does good.
God looks down from heaven
on the children of man
to see if there are any who understand,
who seek after God.
They have all fallen away;
together they have become corrupt;
there is none who does good,
not even one.
Have those who work evil no knowledge,
who eat up my people as they eat bread,
and do not call upon God?
There they are, in great terror,
where there is no terror!
For God scatters the bones of him who encamps against you;
you put them to shame, for God has rejected them.
Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
When God restores the fortunes of his people,
let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
Prayer
Lord, our Savior, fortify our hearts with the faith of Your Word against the foul contaminations of the infidelity of these last days, when folly is called knowledge, and is lauded to the skies. Cause us to grow in faith, that our hearts may be rooted and grounded in the saving truth of Your Word, through Jesus Christ. Amen.
