No Fear Before His Eyes

Every day, I come across verses of Scripture I want to
preach, proclaim, shout, or sing. Here is one:

“An oracle is within my heart concerning the sinfulness of
the wicked: There is no fear of God before his eyes. For in his own eyes he
flatters himself too much to detect or hate his sin” (Psalm 36:1-2).

This is such a good description of the sinfulness of the
wicked. The wicked man cannot see, much less hate his own sin. The reason is
that he flatters himself. This is the ultimate expression of selfishness and
self-conceit.
