“To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD. The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.” Psalm36:1
It is hard to understand why folks deny GOD and have no respect for Him. In order to have an understanding of this I must bring ourselves back to our own past and unveil the wickedness of own own hearts. I had a heart that was deceived into thinking it was above reproach. It was a heart that was content with itself whose authority was its own. “The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart”
Because the heart of the wicked is in control of itself it has no fear of GOD and makes itself a fool. “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.” (Psalm 14:1a) The heart of the fool fears not GOD because it denies His presence. These are blind fools who are unable to see the existence of GOD even in His creation. They believe the creature rather than the Creator. “there is no fear of God before his eyes.”
They sit like bull frogs
On a leaf in the pond.
Croaking of their strength
All the day long.
Thinking themselves powerful,
Making them fools.
When trusting in self,
The fools will lose.
“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.” Romans 1:18-23
