Psalm 53

There Is None That Does Good

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. 

Dear God, 

What would You have me learn from this passage? May I never be like the fool! God, also, I ask that You continue to intervene on behalf of the least of these. Whether it regards healthcare issues or budgets, the republicans are relentless monsters trying to inflict harm. The vote the other night failed, but they are right back after it again. Please safeguard the least of these and continue to intervene. 

Thank You! 

In Jesus' Name,

Amen
