Psalm 53

It took a little more than 1 minute to read this psalm of David. I wonder how many times David encounter the attitude that speaks; "God is dead!"? I wonder how many in Israel voices this same hopeless phrase. From David's point of view they seemed to use their fatalistic theory to justify their abuse of others. What ever the circumstance was that moved David to write, he responded in a familar way; by turning the situation over to God. David knew that God is more than able to defend his name, and his honor. And he would do so in the most loving way possible. Such love is really the only antidote for the spirit that pronounces the death of God.
