Life can be testing and trying ...

Psalms 14:1-15:5
Life can be testing and trying. In all of this, God makes Himself real to us. This is our assurance of faith: 'The Lord restores the fortunes of His people'. He makes us 'glad' - In Him, we 'rejoice' (7). God Himself is the Sure Foundation for our lives: Build on Him, and you 'shall never be moved' (15:5). We long for God's blessing, 'O that salvation...would come...' (7). He will not disappoint us. Do not be 'the fool' who 'says in his heart, "There is no God"' (14:1). 'Fear the Lord' - 'and give Him glory' (15:4; Revelation 14:7). We are to 'act wisely' - 'seeking after God', 'calling upon the Lord' (14:2,4). Do you want to 'dwell on God's holy hill' (15:1)? - 'There is a way for man to rise to that sublime abode...' (Church Hymnary, 357): Christ is the Way to God and Heaven (John 14:2-6).
