Romans 3:10-18 ESV
10 as it is written
"None is righteous, no, not one;
11 no one understands;
no one seeks God.
12 All have turned aside;
together they have become worthless ;
no one does good,
not even one."
13 "their throat is an open grave;
they use their tongues to deceive"
"The venom of asps is under their lips,"
14 "Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness"
15 "Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 in their paths are ruin and misery,
17 and the way of peace they have not known"
18 "There is no fear of God before their eyes"
A prudent man takes time to reflect
and to analyze the sources of his impulses,
and the consequences of his actions.
The "ungodly" neither seeks God nor practices reflective prayer.
The Christian who habitually "refers to God" in prayer,
seeking discernment,
seeking wisdom,
seeking the will of God,
will be more aware of his own imperfections, and so able to seek grace
to be in harmony with the purposes of God,
From heaven the Lord looks down on the sons of men
to see if any of them are wise and seek God.
Our God observes all mankind, constantly watching for any who seek God.
It is comforting to think that our Lord is present to us, and that
we are welcome to His presence and that we are loved as dear children..
When we come before God who is constantly observing all the
sons and daughters of mankind, we can not pretend that He is not aware
of our hungry deprived fellow citizens. He is personally acquainted with
the anguish of those in hospital and in prison ,in debt and in distress.
Our Lord has a heart for all the afflicted .
!st Timothy 2:1 NAB
FIRST of all I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions and
thanksgivings be offered for all men.
Ephesians 6:18 NAB
At every opportunity pray in the Spirit
using prayers and petitions of every sort.
Philippians 4:6 NAB
........Present your needs to God in every form of prayer.
If we believe that "His will" is, without reservation,
the very best thing for us, then that must be our prayer
for all men.
