Is it foolish to pray to a god we can't see, who might not even be there? Some think so, and just about everyone has questioned our belief in God at some time. But Psalm 14 says the real folly is to see the evil around us and to persist in the belief that there is no god. No one wants to live in a world dominated by sin. We long for something better. God planted that longing in our heart. Those seeking God will find him.
If you are getting started in a relationship with God, trying to have a quiet time or seeking guidance at this point in your life, you're in the right place.
Spend your first fifteen minutes of the day listening to God and responding in a personal way. This podcast will show you how and teach you in an easy to follow process.
In fifteen minutes (or less) you will listen to God's word for you, reflect on it and learn to pray to God as well as carry that word with you through the rest of your day. What a perfect way to get started!
We listen to Psalm 14 in our episode today and it begins with a startling statement: the fool says in their heart, "There is no god." At the same time, it pictures Yahweh looking down on humanity to see if any are seeking him. No one is! Sin has taken humanity captive. As Ps 14:3 says (and Romans 1 and 3 echoes), all have turned aside and become corrupt. No one does good, not even one." The only hope is in turning to God and seeking him, renouncing the darkness and evil that has clouded our hearts and our thinking. God will save and restore us when we put our hope in him.
