No Fear of God Before His Eyes

In this psalm of David the king of Israel mourns over those who have stumbled over the error that is deep within their hearts. He mourns over those who have rejected God as unworthy and continue to go on rejecting God. He mourns over those who refuse to come under the authority of the Word of God. We see from the gospels that Jesus had the most problems with religious people, people who had plenty of religion but refuse to obey. It is clear from the Word of God that you must come under the authority of God's Word or you cannot enter God's flock. You must be willing to give Him authority over every area of your life, trusting in Christ alone, if not you will be trusting in demons and pride. The Scriptures make it clear that the heart and the mind of man are wicked, and even the conscious has been corrupted. All humans are totally depraved. Before writing this psalm David had to first look at himself. The king himself had fallen into grievous sin, but even when he did he repented of his sin and remained humble before God, open to the rebuke of Nathan the prophet. David saw himself as less than God. He continued to see God and his own wickedness, and this produced humility. This is different from those who continue to disobey God and continue on in religion and pride. This was the case of King Saul. The biggest obstacle of the Church going forward is the enemies within. There are those who sit in Church every Sunday morning and yet they doubt the Word of God and speak against His messengers. Christ has come so that the evil hearts of all mankind can be changed, can be regenerated. He has come to send fire in our hearts and cleanse us from the inside out by the Holy Spirit.
