The Fool
“The fool has said in his heart, There is no God”
(Psalm 53:1).
To be a fool is to be without common sense, without wisdom. The wise man will contemplate creation and marvel. He sees the way Planet Earth orbits the sun at just the right distance to sustain life. He delights in the great seas and lakes without which no life would survive. He is amazed at the countless species of plant and animal life. He studies his own body and marvellous brain, and stands in awe. All of this proclaims a Creator, infinitely wise and powerful. The wise man recognises his responsibility to his Creator, and bows before him confessing his sin, and receives full and free salvation.
Only a fool will say that there is no God. Do not be a fool. Come to know God through the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord told a story of a man who had no time for God, nor did he recognise that his prosperity and the good things that he enjoyed in life were from the Creator. The conclusion of the matter was this: “But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided” (Luke 12:20).
