Psalm 53:2a "God looks down from heaven..."

Day 141 – Psalm 53

“God looks down from heaven…” Psalm 53:2a

DENIAL OF GOD MEANS NOTHING

Many who deny the existence of God imagine that mere denial cancels His existence. David defied this line of thought. Denial of God proves nothing, and means nothing. He posits a powerful thought- that God continues to watch mankind from the vantage point of heaven.

“God looks down from heaven upon the children of men,
To see if there are any who understand, who seek God.”
Psalm 53:2

a) There is no attempt to prove the existence of God.
b) One cannot prove anything to people who have made up their mind to deny His existence.
