Day 122.

Psalm 14:2-5
2 The LORD looks down from heaven upon the children of men,
To see if there are any who understand, who seek God.
3 They have all turned aside,
They have together become corrupt;
There is none who does good,
No, not one.

4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge,
Who eat up my people as they eat bread,
And do not call on the LORD?
5 There they are in great fear,
For God is with the generation of the righteous.

v2-3 are the 'scary' verses.. The Lord is looking to see if there are any who understand, and who seek God. But all have turned aside and together become corrupt. There is no one who does good, not even one! God is looking for people who understand.. understand what thought? Understand Him? or His word? Or what we're meant to do? And is also looking for people who seek Him! God is looking for seekers! People who are seeking Him! So if we want to be noticed by God, we must understand and seek Him, because God is looking for such people. Understand and seek Him...Understand and seek Him..
In v4 'Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge,..." is saying something like "do they not know?". God is with the generation of the righteous! Another key if we want God to be with us, and that is righteousness. May our generation be known as the generation of the righteous, the generation that God is with! v5, there they are in great fear. the 'there' refers to the workers of iniquity which im guessing represents the forces of evil. And it is always good to know that they are in great fear. Who are they afraid of? God. Why? Because He has the power to destroy them! So if we have God in us, there is no reason for us to fear them, because they would be afraid of us!
