Rev. Tim Eden, pastor at Bethel Lutheran Church in Bryan, TX, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Psalm 14.
Psalm 14 teaches godly wisdom to all who have ears to hear. Folly rejects the one true God. Such folly may not be spoken outright, but the meditations of the heart as made manifest in actions that have no regard for God and His Word reveal the foolishness. St. Paul picks this thought up in Romans 3 and says that all people are lost in such foolishness in their original sin. Yet God has had mercy upon the children of man by sending His Son as a man. True wisdom, then, is to turn to the same God who has pointed out our foolishness and find in Him our salvation. Those who reject this one true God remain in their folly, even as they persecute those who look to Him for refuge. Yet those who have their righteousness in Christ are those who receive the salvation in Jesus for which they pray.
Join Sharper Iron during the month of July to study selected Psalms. In the Psalter, God speaks His Word to us and teaches us how to speak back to Him in prayer. Even in the great variety of the Psalms, each one points us to our Savior, Jesus Christ.
