Psalms 14:2 (KJ21)
The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand and seek God.

Psalms 14:2 (NAS)
The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, To see if there are any who understand, Who seek after God.

Psalms 14:2 (NIVUS)
The LORD looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.

Psalms 14:2 (NLT)
The LORD looks down from heaven on the entire human race; he looks to see if there is even one with real understanding, one who seeks for God.

You have probably heard God referred to as the "man upstairs"; however, Jehovah the Lord is more than just that "man". He is the Supreme God, the Creator and Upholder of the universe. He deserves your respect and your honor.

The Lord Jehovah has His dwelling and abode in heaven; from His throne, He looks down upon the men of the earth. If it were possible, you would see Him leaning over the banister of heaven searching for His people who have put their faith and trust in Him. He observes and watches to see those who are prudent, circumspect, and wise. He is interested in finding men and women who truly understand and comprehend His nature. To these, He gives more insight so that they can teach others about Him. Those who are diligent and take time to seek after Adonai are prospered in their search; they become more successful than their peers. Since they care about the things of God, the Most High cares for them.

Therefore, you should make it your goal to daily seek after and worship Adonai, your Almighty God. Then, when He looks down from heaven, He will be blessed in what He sees in your life and in return, He will bless you.
