Psalm 14:1. “The fool hath said in his heart, ‘There is no God.’ They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.” THE FOOL.
The fool in his mind thinks he is the one Who knows all there is to know – Not realizing the God he has chosen to shun, Sees all that goes on here below.
So, he lifts his heart to convince himself, Like a lonely dog howling at the moon – “I don’t want God – I’m like a god myself, There’s no God – responsible to self alone.”
But God looks down into the heart of the fool; He can read each man’s thoughts like a book. God knows he is corrupt – just the devil’s tool That from Satan’s toolbox of evil he took.
The fool’s a man without honor, his morals are gone; Sold for pleasure and selfish interests in life. He doesn’t seem to know as the busy years roll on; His end will be only darkness – not light
The fool mocks the saints; he thinks they are dumb Because they live for the God they have not seen. But when life’s day is over, and all efforts are done, He will lament that such a fool he has been.
The fool will cry out, “What a foolish man am I, I’ve lost my soul for these ‘pieces of eight.’” And the ones living in faith, in the “sweet by and by,” Will all go in through heaven’s open gate!
“O Righteous and Holy God, I make my prayer to Thee today on behalf of those I know who seem like fools – they live and act and talk like there is no God. For some reason, even though they have heard the Gospel many times, they seem to think ‘there is nothing to it.’ Give me some words or brief comments to make them understand the reality of God and their need for Thee. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
