Psalm 14

1. Most scholars believe that verse 1 is speaking of a moral “fool;” one who does not know the right way to live. He does not believe in God. Sadly, many live as though there were no God, making them “fools” in a way, too.

2. Verses 2 and 3 fit well together as a lesson. In verse 2, God is seeking those who understand (thinking), while in verse 3 they are not doing. What we think leads to what we do.

3. Verse 5: When one realizes that God is with him, it should cause great comfort. Those without God should fear.

4. God’s saving power comes from the place God wants (today, it is in the church) (verse 7).
