Fool's Day
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.
Psalm 53:1a
Find a window nearby and take a look outside. What do you see? As I look out my window, I see a few tall trees and a mountain in the distance. Every once in a while, a bird settles on my window ledge for a few moments and then flies off to someone else's ledge. Your view may be similar to mine or you may see a beautiful lake or a quiet meadow or a grass-filled backyard.
Whatever you see, do you see God? Do you see God's artistry in the apple tree in the front yard and in the sparrow on the window ledge? Do you see God's creative genius in the bumble bee? Do you see God's hand sculpting the mountains and forging paths for the rivers? I look at nature and I can't help but to see God.
And yet there are those who say God doesn't exist. The psalmist says, "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God" (Psalm 53:1a). These fools look at nature and say, "It all just randomly appeared and then evolved." These fools deny God. And without God, they feel free to live their lives as they please. They reason, "Let us eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we die."
The fool's day is coming. Soon, Christ will appear in the clouds in glory and might. All shall behold Him and all shall bow before Him. On that day, those who deny God will see God face to face. These fools will realize their folly.
Oh, may those who deny God find their Creator before it's too late!
