Only a fool says, "there is no God"

“The fool says in his heart, ‘there is no God,'” (Psalm 14:1 KJV)

Happy April Fool’s Day!

This is the day dedicated to pulling some kind of practical joke on others. I have to admit that I have pulled a few pranks on others and have been a victim of a few. All were done in fun. But, the Bible says that “being foolish” is very serious stuff! In fact, Jesus says in Matthew 5:22, that calling someone else a fool can even put a person in serious jeopardy because of the seriousness nature of it. Contextually, Jesus was referring to those who are unrighteously angry. In another place, God called a man a fool who was selfishly planning to build bigger barns to hoard his wealth rather than using it for God’s Kingdom work. (Luke 12:20).

Only a fool could say such a thing

The Bible also says that a “fool says in his heart there is no God.” And when you think about it, only a fool would ever say such a thing. In order to be able to say that there is no God, you would have to have actually looked every single place in existence for God, including behind every rock, behind every bush, and behind every place in the entire universe! That is impossible! In order to say there is no God, you’d have to be God! It really is a foolish statement to make.

A promise for the non-foolish 

And here is a great promise as an answer to a fool who says there is no God. “I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.” (2 Tim.1:2 KJV)
