Who Are You Calling A Fool?
August 28 & 29, 2021
KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:
Psalm 53:1The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.
THOUGHT ON GOD’S WORD:
When we think of a fool today, we think of someone who is odd or goofy. But when the Bible refers to someone as a fool it is speaking of his or her moral and spiritual insensitivity. A fool would be someone who rejects God. So, whom would this term fool then include? Well, as much as we hate to admit it, this would include us all before our eyes were opened to the love of God and we received Jesus as our Saviour. We were part of the foolish in this world. However, at the moment of our salvation, God began to use those of us who were the foolish of this world to teach the wise. That is, those who are wise in their own eyes, but still foolish to God.
The foolish would include all who continue to refuse the eternal salvation offered through the sacrificial blood of Jesus Christ. It would also include those who feel that somehow, they can earn their way to heaven through works. The Bible says by grace we are saved, not of works. Furthermore, it would include those who feel all roads, or many ways lead to heaven. God’s Word clearly states the way to heaven is a narrow way. Jesus said, “I am the way.” Anyone who denies the truth of God’s Word, denies God.
In fact, now that I think about it, anyone who would deny God and the promises of His Word, would be kind of odd, goofy, or foolish!
CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:
Before we go pointing a finger at the foolish today, remember we all started just that way. For all have sinned, the Bible says, and sin blinds us to the truth. Let’s continue to be a witness to everyone. For God so loved the “world.” In addition, if God can use ex-fools like us, who knows what He might do with someone who is being foolish today?

WHAT TO DO ON SUNDAY:
There will not be a Daily Devotion sent out on Sundays. Instead we encourage you to attend your church and listen intently to what God has prepared in the heart of your Pastor. Write down all the scriptures he uses in that message, then when you get home re-read those passages for today’s reading. God has given to your Pastor exactly what He desires for you on that day.
