4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts. 5 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them. 6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity (Psalm 10:4-6).
Although it is through God’s sovereign selection and election that certain people seek after God, God doesn’t prevent anyone from seeking Him. God simply says that there will be those that will not seek Him. The reason given is these people’s own pride. Pride prevents people from seeing God for who He is. In the end, pride is the ultimate form of denial. It is denial because it does not allow people to see their true condition before a holy God. The proper response then for the believer is to be thankful. Thankful that God is gracious. For without God’s gracious actions, all would not seek after God, to our final demise. To God is the glory, and the power to save.
