1 To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted themselves, they have done abominable works: there is none that doeth good.
2 Jehovah looked down from the heavens upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
3 They have all gone aside, they are together become corrupt: there is none that doeth good, not even one.
4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, eating up my people as they eat bread? They call not upon Jehovah.

6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the afflicted, because Jehovah was his refuge.

TODAY'S CHRISTIAN TESTIMONYS:

• "The primary business I must attend to every day is to fellowship with the Lord."
• "It often astonishes me that I did not see the importance of meditation upon Scripture earlier in my Christian life. As the outward man is not fit for work for any length of time unless he eats, so it is with the inner man. What is the food for the inner man? Not prayer, but the word of God - not the simple reading of the word of God so that it only passes through our minds just as water runs through a pipe. No, we must consider what we read, ponder over it and apply it to our hearts."
  From The Autobiography of George Muller.

TODAY'S PRAYER:

Lord, Spring is in the air, brighter days and budding plants. Thank you for this time of year and for the creation we see around us. Thank you for THIS day and for the Fellowship I can have with you in it.
