SCRIPTURE: PSALMS 14
MEMORY VERSE:
“The fool says in his heart, “There is no God”. They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.” (Psalms 14:1)
David cited the contrast between the righteous and the wicked. Those who says in their heart that there is no God are wicked and corrupt. Their deeds are vile and they never do any good. But the righteous trusted the Lord and seek Him. God is present with them and the Lord is their refuge.
