Gleanings from the Psalms

Chapter 22

Psalm 14: God Looked Down

"God looked down from heaven upon the children of men." (Psalm 14:2)

What for? "To see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God." (Psalm 14:2)

Many people judge God by themselves, and imagine that He is looking on man to discover imperfections.

One looks for what one wishes to find; and God does not desire to find evil. There is enough of evil; but God is certain to find all the good there is.

What are you looking for?--Present Truth, October 24, 1901--Original title: Back Page--Psalm 14:2.
