The foolish person says that there is no God.
He may not say it on the outside,
But he says it deep inside his heart,
His inner control-center.
He says it with his life, too.
He lives like no one is watching,
Like there is no one holy, no one to be judge,
No creator to call him to account.
He has something else in his heart
Where God should be
And that God-lack in the control center corrupts him,
As it corrupts all of us.
It takes the good beautiful thing we should be
And rots it, rusts it, twists it and perverts it,
Until the good becomes evil.
Corruption.
And good that becomes evil is the most evil kind of evil there is.
The corruption gets really, really bad,
Until it comes out in actions too terrible to describe.
And there is nobody who does good.
God does still exist though.
No amount of foolish hearts that have voted against Him
Have actually dethroned Him.
He exists, and He reigns, and He looks down
And He watches all the people who don’t believe He’s watching
And He looks at the children of Adam, the descendents of humanity,
The offspring of His fallen friend, now filling His planet-globe,
To see if any of them have their heads screwed on straight
And are going to come looking for Him.
But He discovers that the corruption has spread
To every last one of them
None of them is left to be friends with God in their heart.
No one does good anymore.
How can anyone be this stupid?
Do they not know anything?
To ignore their Creator, who is right there watching,
Never once ask Him for help,
And then go and attack and abuse His children?
Devouring His humans: chew, swallow, repeat?
This kind of life is going to backfire.
God is going to show up.
There are people made right-with-God
And God is with them.
And those who ignored God and hurt His people
Are going to experience great terror.
There are people out there who want to crush the crushed;
When poor people make plans of hope to get a better life,
These creeps are planning against the plans, trying to turn that hope into shame.
But as messed up as the world is, and as messed up as the humans are,
God still cares about the poor. God is still available to be a refuge.
God chose a nation within the earth.
God chose a city within the nation.
God didn’t give up on humanity after Adam.
So His people are aching, hoping, longing,
For something to come out of that God-chosen city,
Something called salvation.
