Topic: THE THOUGHT OF A FOOL LEADS TO TROUBLE:

READ 👉: Psalms 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.

To David, it was only a fool who could say there was no God.There was abundant evidence of the reality of a God in heaven.

The only way anyone could believe that there was no God was if they denied reason. This would, according to David, make that individual a fool. For example, some professors claim that there is no God and teach their students to believe these lies.

A footnote in the NIV translation of the Bible indicates that the word for fool implies that the individual was morally deficient. In other words, Only a fool would openly and rebelliously disregard the creator and sustainer of the universe and live with no regard for God and His purposes. Only a fool would live with no concern for the coming judgment

They denied God for the purpose of living an immoral or ungodly life. According to David, these individuals were corrupt and their deeds were vile.

They were an immoral people. They lived without a fear of judgment. It was convenient for them to refuse to accept there was a God in heaven. If there was no God they could do as they pleased.
