The fool says in his heart, there is no God.
Psalms 14:1, Psalms 53:1
Yes. It is true. This particular verse is in the Bible twice and I wonder why?
A “fool” is mentioned many times in God’s word but he is classified as a fool based upon two things:
1. He rejects God’s word and His revelation
2. He does not seek God or request His presence in any way.
I am confident this does not surprise you.
David told us in Psalms 16:2 that apart from you, I have no good thing.
According to the Bible, the person who is a fool is the one willing to walk the journey of life completely on their own and they are comfortable that they have only themselves to rely upon.
David on the other hand, could not imagine one single moment of life without God. He literally told us that without God in his life, he had nothing. Solomon also said that the pursuit of just “stuff” in this life is 100% meaningless when carried out apart from the will of God.
So which direction do we choose?
What choice makes the most sense? Do we pursue life solely on our own with absolutely no help or guidance and be willing to take our chances with whatever comes next?
Or, do we believe David, who told is the guy described above is a fool because he doesn’t believe in the existence of God?
Guys, I heard this awhile back and maybe it’s relevant for this post:
I would rather live my life believing there is a God and die to find out there isn’t one, than to live my life NOT believing and then die to find out there is…
I dont know where you sit with this question I am raising today and I can only give you my opinion but I would like to ask you just this, wouldn’t you want to at least anchor yourself onto something that will last?
You see I believe in a basic fundamental about life. Simply put…the existence of a single God…the Creator. Why? Because I believe you and me were created for a higher purpose. But yet at the same time, if you refuse that basic fact about the existence of God, then I can only conclude that is the reason why David wrote what he wrote…
The fool says in his heart there is no God…
In this world YOU get to choose…I pray that you choose wisely. I also pray that you choose with your eternal future in mind…
Jesus said, Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. Matthew 12:30
Until next time guys.
