In this Psalm, David speaks of those who are wicked. David says, “The wicked are estranged from the womb; those who speak lies go astray from birth.”
We are all born with certain characteristics. All of us are unique. Our experiences around others tell us that people have different tendencies. We first recognize this when we are young.
When I was in grade school I observed that some children seemed to be naturally mean and cruel. Whereas, others were nice. Some were bullies and were aggressive. Whereas, others were passive and seemed to care for others.
The Bible says that God created all humans to serve His purposes. God guides some people to become His people who will live with God in Heaven. Some who are given to sin may serve God’s purpose to tempt God’s people, testing them so see if they will turn away from God.
God’s people will pass these tests. They will not turn away from God. Rather, they will turn away from evil. They will resist temptations to sin.
The Bible says that God’s people are being molded and shaped. They are being sanctified. The Bible says that God’s people will be tested throughout their lives to validate their Faith in God. Therefore, those who want to obey God should consider this Truth as they proceed through their lives.
