Psalm 14

April 1st is called All fools day.
Fool has said in his heart, "There is no God."

Definition of a fool is that a person who is tricked or deceived by some thing fake.
According to Bible, the foolishness is a person who says there is no God in his heart.

A middle eastern proverb says.
  1. Anger without cause.
  2. Speech without profit.
  3. Change without progress.
  4. Inquiry without purpose.
  5. Putting trust in strangers.
  6. Mistaking foe for friend.

Foolishness starts in a person's heart - 
Just like in a believer - he believes in his heart that God has raised Jesus from the dead and you confess with your mouth that Jesus is the Lord, you will be saved( Romans 10:9)

On a opposite side, a fool starts his foolishness in his heart.
In the heart he says there is no God. He does not confess Jesus Christ.


Characteristics of a fool:
Corruption:
Gets adulterated. Mix with the Crowd.
When Haman was walking in the streets of Assyrian kingdom, everyone will bow down to Haman.
But Mordecai does not get corrupted, instead he does not bow down, but stands out.

The signature of a fool is this: He gets mixed with crowd.
But a true believer stands out.

2 Peter 1:4
 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the [c]corruption that is in the world through lust.


Abomination: The  things that God hate.


God looks down to see

Who understand
Who seek God
Who call on the Lord

1)Who understand

Proverbs 18:2
A fool has no delight in understanding,
But in expressing his own heart.

b) Who seek God
Is there any who seek God?
Seek The kingdom of God and his Righteousness.
God looks down to see if there is any who seek Me?

In you life decisions, if you dont seek the counsel of God, if you dont seek the Word of God and instruction of God, then there is foolishness.
Wherever there is no Word, there is foolishness.

c) who calls on God
A person who cries out to God in prayer.
God sees if there is any who calls on Him.
You spend a day with out prayer, You are saying that there is no God in your heart.


If you are a believer the world thinks you are fool.

God is with the generation of the righteous.

For those who understands His ways,
For those who seek His Righteousness , His Kingdom.
For those who Call on Him in prayer,
God is with those people.
God reveals Himself to these people,

Matthew 7:26-27
26 “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand:27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”
