Psalms 14:107 “Sanctified, and meet for the master’s use”

Psa 14:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psa 14:2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
Psa 14:3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Psa 14:4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.
Psa 14:5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.
Psa 14:6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.
Psa 14:7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

“The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God” and God tells us straightway in this Psalm what the fruit of that unbelief produces as the abominable works spring forth from a corrupt earth that cannot inherit eternal life.

1Co 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

We can’t partake of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and be strengthened spiritually by the experience when Christ is not in the picture (the tree of life, who comes forth from the earth as well). When we read the effect that looking at and partaking of the tree had upon Eve (who is a type of the church) without the discerning mind of Christ within her, not yet connected to the vine (the vine and tree of life are one and the same – Christ), it is very clear that her senses have not been exercised to discern the good and evil of this tree and she can only be enamoured by what this knowledge can do for her personal gain, being a marred vessel in the hand of the Potter as we all start off, not yet made anew.

Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Joh 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Gen 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

Jer 18:4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.

Without Christ’s discerning mind yet present within us there will be no strong meat received because it takes Christ in us, the hope of glory, and the experience of having our faith tried through Christ, the sharp two edged sword, that brings us to have minds that can “who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil”.

Rom 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
Rom 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

1Pe 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Heb 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

The tree of the knowledge of good and evil reveals the destructive nature of our flesh (Rom 7:7-8), and the inability to partake of that fruit maturely without Christ ruling and reigning in our hearts (Mat 7:18). There is a difference between knowing good and evil, and being able to discern both good and evil.

Gen 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
Gen 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

Heb 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

Mat 7:18 A good tree [the tree of life Christ] cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. [the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is not a good tree, but represents the law for the lawless (1Ti 1:9) that is very good for what it was intended to do (Gen 1:31), to be a schoolmaster (Gal 3:24)]

When we know good and evil and yet cannot rightly divide the word of God which has good and evil within it, or light and darkness that God created, then we stumble and fall back and become ensnared, not spiritually benefitting (Rom 14:23) from this tree of the knowledge of good and evil which can only be partaken for our benefit once we have matured through receiving the faith (Gal 3:24) that the tree of life gives along with the ability to continue to endure in that faith that gets tried so that we can rightly divide or discern the fruit of good and evil. This rightly dividing of the word that can then quicken us is likened unto strong meat that we need as God’s people to be able go without the camp with our Lord to fulfill our Father’s will.

Isa 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

Isa 28:13 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

Luk 22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

Php 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Joh 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

Heb 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

Heb 13:13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
Heb 13:14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.

If you contrast that thought of the fool who does not “believe” God in his heart of verse one, with Christ telling us that to do the works of God we must “believe” and continue in the truth of John 8:32, we are given the key as to how and why we can lay up treasure in heaven and not on earth as Christ works in us both to will and to do, this work of patiently enduring and possessing our souls as we hear the word of God, or believe the word of God, being given to us through the voice of the good shepherd (Joh 10:14).

Joh 6:28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
Joh 6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

Php 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Joh 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Mat 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

Luk 21:19 In your patience possess ye your souls.

Rev 1:3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

God’s elect believe that God has purposed every event under the sun, or under the Son of righteousness (Ecc 1:9, Mal 4:2) and that the world lives and moves and has their being in him (Act 17:28). We also believe that all those events are working together for the good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose (Rom 8:28). As our discernment grows in the Lord, we can see that purpose working together for all of His creation, including the other fold who will one day understand the vision that God provided through His mighty counsel so that His people could be given “a more sure word of prophecy” that would give them vision in a world that is promised to wax worse and worse (Eph 1:11, Pro 29:18, Mat 24:12)

2Pe 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

God will take all humanity in time from being the fool who says in his heart that there is no God to revealing that “He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.”

Deu 32:4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.

The tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and the tree of life come out of the ground, and out of the same earth. Both were created by God and are represented by a pillar of cloud and a pillar of fire. That pillar of cloud and pillar of fire was the means by which God gave perception or vision or took it away from others, and reminds us that we like Israel of old are completely at the mercy of God, His children today rely solely on Him to provide everything we need through Christ to endure until the end (Php 4:13, Mat 24:13, Heb 1:7, Heb 12:1, Rev 11:3, Rev 3:11).

Gen 2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Rev 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

1Jn 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

Exo 13:21 And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:

In the end all people will acknowledge “The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works”, and we hope that this study will strenghthen us and help us see the certain hope that we have with God as our helper through this process of becoming vessels unto honour, pillars of a cloud, and pillars of fire “sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work”.

Psa 145:17 The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.

Heb 13:6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

2Ti 2:21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.

Psa 14:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

As discussed in the introduction, God makes us the fool who says in his heart, “there is no God”, and the end result of that unbelief is corruption and abominable works that bear witness that none of us can do good unless the Lord tears down the old house and builds the new one on the foundation of Christ.

Joh 2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

Psa 127:1 A Song of degrees for Solomon. Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

This is not a rebuild of the old man like we see over and over with the reformation of churches in this world, but true reformation that comes through Christ alone who destroys the first temple and builds the new one described symbolically as something that will take three days to bring unto perfection.

2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Luk 13:32 And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.

The fool is anyone who does not believe, or who did believe and then stopped believing, and this is a work of God that proves his Sovereignty to give us faith to believe or to take that faith away, and so we see throughout his work the need to be grateful and ever mindful that it is the Lord who is keeping us and building the house unto the glory of God.

Heb 3:17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
Heb 3:18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?

Luk 22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

Joh 13:27 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.

Here’s a closer look at the word “foolH5036” in this verse, giving us a clear view of where we all start.

Psa 14:2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

God knows our hearts, and knows how much we believe, or understand, or if we are seeking him. He inhabits all of the creation and nothing is hidden from Him, so the goal for his people is to become a body that has a singleness of mind that, by the grace and faith of Christ, will continue to believe all things, and continue to lean not unto our own understanding.

Jer 17:10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

Rev 3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

Col 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Col 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
Col 1:19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;

Pro 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Pro 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Pro 3:7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
Pro 3:8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

The “children of men” represent the entire world that has been deceived by the devil and lying in wickedness, a situation that God uses for the express purpose of demonstrating His power and might over that wickedness just as He did in Egypt unto Pharoah who represents the god of this world.

Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

1Jn 5:19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

Rom 9:17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.

Psa 14:3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

This does not include Christ who never sinned (Heb 4:15), however Christ did admit that there was nothing good within him (Mar 10:18), and that it was the Father working in him both to will and to do of His good pleasure (Joh 5:30) just as it is with the body of Christ which is the church and the dwelling where Christ is fulfilling the will of the Father within us both to will and to do (Joh 15:5, Eph 5:30, Php 2:13).

Until that relationship is granted with Christ, we “are all gone aside” and are “become filthy” needing to be cleansed by the blood of Christ, who will take us from that state of “none that doeth good, no, not one” to someone who is “a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work”.

1Co 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? (Luk 17:21) Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
1Co 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
1Co 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

2Ti 2:21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.
2Ti 2:22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
2Ti 2:23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.

Psa 14:4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.

Isaiah 3:1 gives us a clear answer as to whether or not any of the “workers of iniquity” have any knowledge.

Isa 3:1 For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water,

We can eat the bread of life positively (Joh 6:48, Php 3:10, 1Co 10:16) or we can not discern the Lord’s body and miss out on the occasion to do that when we come together (1Co 11:18-29).

His purpose, which should always be ours, is to have us break His bread and call upon the LORD. Coming together must be for the express purpose of having true communion and comunication that is Christ centered, and we pray that God will continue to grant His people to do that today (Mal 3:16, Heb 10:25) in contrast to those “who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD”

Psa 14:5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.

The contrast is always amazing in God’s word and in the life of those who he is working with, which reveals the pillar of fire and the pillar of cloud working in our life, or the severity and goodness of God accomplishing His purpose which will not fail.

Rom 11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

Rom 2:4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

Php 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

We are of the generation who He is bringing unto perfection through the fiery judgements He places on us. That fire should cause great fear for our first man Adam who we know cannot inherit the kingdom. Knowing these things are going to come upon our earth what manner of people ought we to be in all fear and Godly reverence obeying God from a pure heart so that we can be cleased and blessed to narrowly escape from this untoward generation, as Christ describes it.

1Pe 4:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

1Pe 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

1Co 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

2Pe 3:11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
2Pe 3:12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements^G4747 shall melt with fervent heat?

Act 2:40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

Psa 14:6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.

We will be shamed by this world for believing what we believe (1Pe 4:4), but Christ was shamed as well, and together through our Lord we can continue to despise that shame and look unto”the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame“.

Heb 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Heb 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Heb 12:3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

The LORD and his body is truly our “refuge” in this evil world that we will not find rest in. This rest will only be found in our Lord and His Christ.

Luk 9:58 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
Luk 9:59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

Heb 4:11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

Psa 84:10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

Heb 4:3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

Heb 4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
Heb 4:10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.

Psa 14:7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

This last verse of Psalm 14 will happen after God makes us a people “Sanctified, and meet for the master’s use” who are able to come up on mount Zion “to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD’S”.

2Ti 2:21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.

Oba 1:21 And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD’S.

As we mentioned in the introduction earlier in this study:

“We can’t partake of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and be
strengthened spiritually by the experience when Christ is not in the picture” …Mat 7:18…

Throughout the verses of this Psalm, we see the subtle hints of words such as ‘understand^H7919‘ and ‘knowledge^H3045, ‘counsel^H6098‘, and their use revealed in other sections of God’s word shows us the negative ‘fool part’ of our life when we had those words wrapped around the idols of our hearts. When God’s word is rightly divided it is a tree of life unto us revealing other definitions of these words that demonstrate that point very well:

Psa 14:2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand^H7919, and seek God.

That process of enduring until the end will be the hardest journey anyone of us will ever have to endure, but we will not do it alone, we will do it as one body asking our Father for what we need, asking in Christ’s name, and knowing that He will be able to answer us “exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us”

Joh 16:22 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.
Joh 16:23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.
Joh 16:24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

Eph 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
Eph 3:21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
